I was frying chicken in a frying pan. I took the last piece of chicken out of the pan and the chicken slipped out of the tongs and fell back into the pan. When the piece of chicken fell into the pan, the hot oil splashed onto the back of my fingers, back of my hand and half way up my arm.

Some people swear by Aloe Vera but the stuff doesn't work for me. I always keep Neosporin in the house. It eases the burn pain and it helps the injuries heal nicely. Today, I can't even tell where the hot oil landed on my skin since there aren't any visible marks or scars.

BTW, I never fried chicken after that accident.
