Well, I've done this, and wasted precious time getting an ice-cube out, wrapping it in a paper towel, etc. While you're doing this, LICK the burn, and suck air past it to cool it. Saliva is supposed to have an natural but mild disinfectant value anyway [ref?]. Please don't call it the Turner Maneuver. Michael Turner ucbvax!ucbesvax.turner
