Maybe it only took once for you, Dan, but I forget easy!
As anyone knows who's been bitten, these burns seem like forever to heal and hurt like a mofo!

It should almost be mandatory for each of us to carry a small burn kit in our cars, the quicker you apply the ointments mentioned above, the faster the pain stops and the quicker it heals.
