I burnt my hands once and i just dont compare. Burns are the nastiest injuries you can sustain imo.
I did mine when i left a CANDLE by the window on a calm day. It had been there for about an hour with me next to it and i poped downstairs to get something from my car.
I came back 2 mins later to see the roof, wall and pvc window ablaze! It was shocking how quick it wetn up. It seems there had been a slight gust of wind to blow the curtains over the candle and it HAD to happen when i went away for 1 minute...
I tried to be a hero; grabbed the cutains which were now on fire and used them to put the fire out everywhere else. When it was controllable i threw them out the window.
Only after did i use a few buckets of water to get it all out did i run down stairs to stamp the cutains out did i look at my hands. They were a complete mess with the skin comming off at an alarming rate.
I was out of action for about 6 months
Next time im getting buckets of water...
This is them after a bit of healing:
