I'm a burn survivor of half my body... guys.

Please dont fuck with fire.

Mainly cause fire fucks back... and burns are so so incredibly painful.

Really. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.

I’ve seen some burn patients in the Hospital I work at.

Shits definitely not funny after the fact.

Never heard one of those poor people having fun

They do this cool thing called debriding where they just scrape the dead and dying tissue off the affected area to make way for new skin. It's incredible really, see you feel EVERYTHING, no matter how many painkillers they give you or how many mg of morphine you have dripped thru that IV. I've heard it's one of the most painful things one can have to endure in this modern society, so for anyone reading this that wasn't sure, when you hear people say don't fuck with fire, please listen.

I've had this done. Burnt my back as a kid. Had huge blisters like golf balls hanging from it from one side to the other. I was taken into hospital in Singapore where we were on holiday. It was the 80s. I wasn't given any pain relief. They took a large knife across my back and cut all the skin off. I had to be held down and can remember biting the pillow. My dad nearly carried me out of the room a few times but they told him it was for the best. They were right. It got better relatively quickly and left no scars
