Ouch ! Is to say it mildly... On Saturday I was making smore's from a box mix. The directions said to spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with pam. Empty the package of graham crackers and chocolate chips into the baking dish. Place the marshmallow package into a glass cup and cut-off a corner to let the steam out. Cook in the microwave for 45-60 seconds. After 45 seconds, I opened the microwave door and decided it needed a few more seconds. When it was finished I grabbed the handle of the glass measuring cup and removed it from the microwave. Once the marshmallow sauce was outside the microwave it began spilling over the bowl like a volcano. My immediate reaction was to place my hand under the marshmallow sauce to capture it from spilling on the kitchen floor. BAD IDEA!!! I placed my hand under running water to try and ease the pain, but the marshmallow sauce had stuck to my hand. The pain was excruciating. Jerry was outside, so it took me a minute to be composed enough to go out and ask him to come in to help me. He came in put some ice cubes in my bowl of water, but that made the pain worse so he removed the ice. The pain was so bad I couldn't stop crying or move. Jerry asked me if I wanted him to take me to emergency, but I wasn't ready to go. He gave me some hydrocodone to ease the pain. The rest of the day I continued to hold onto an ice pack and throughout the night keep my hand wrapped with an ace bandage to keep the ice pack in place. By the next morning the palm of my hand had a huge blister on it.
