Q：蛋白是燙傷急救靈藥？

A：

有此一說：

Treating Burns-Egg white(燙傷急救靈藥 - 蛋白)

One hope never to be needing it, but just in case:...

A simple but effective way to treat burns with the help of egg white. This method is used in the training of firemen.

簡單有效的處理燙傷治療中要利用“蛋白”，這是消防人員培訓中用到的方法.

When sustaining a burn, regardless the degree, the first aid is always placing the injured part under running cold water till the heat subsides. And next spread the egg white over the injury.

遇到燙傷，不管有多嚴重，第一要務就是將患處浸在流動的冷水中，直到熱感消失為止。接著把蛋白塗在患處。

Someone burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. Despite the pain she held her hand under running water, then took two eggs, parted the yolk from the egg white and slightly beat the egg white and put her hand in it. Her hand was so badly burned that the egg white dried and formed a white film. Later she heard that the egg is a natural collagen.

有人遭滾水燙傷大塊手肉，她不顧疼痛，握住受傷的手，置患處在流動的冷水之中。熱感退卻後，取出兩顆蛋，分開蛋黃，把蛋白略微打散。把患處浸在蛋白中。她的手燙得想當嚴重，連蛋白都熱亁成一層白的薄膜包住患處。後來她才聽說蛋裏有天然膠原蛋白。

And during the next hour layer upon layer, she administered a white layer on her hand. That afternoon she didn't feel any more pain and the next day there hardly was a red mark to see. She thought she would have an awful scar but to her astonishment after ten days there was no sign of the burn, the skin had it's normal colour again!

其後的一個鐘頭，一層又一層的蛋白疊在患處，那個下午她不再覺得患處有疼痛的感覺，隔天患處只有不太明顯的紅色印記。她原以為會留下可怕的疤痕，沒想到，十天之後，患處沒有一點傷痕，皮膚也恢復原來的色澤。

The burned area had been totally regenerated thanks to the collagen, in reality a placenta full of vitamins.

感謝膠原蛋白富有的胎盤素和維生素使患處得以完全重生。

在很古老的民俗偏方。有所謂「中醫食療方」，提及用雞蛋白調硼酸或茶油可治小面積燙傷。另有一個方則是蛋黃調白酒、蜜糖。以前醫療不發達，求醫不方便，才會出現這些偏方。現在中西醫有許多適合的藥物和療法，是不必堅持偏方的。

另外還有一個問題要釐清的是蛋清（也就是俗稱蛋白的部份）並不等於膠原蛋白。雞蛋是屬於優質的蛋白質，而膠原蛋白是人體皮膚形成的成分，人體本身補足充足的胺基酸(蛋白質的最小分子)，就可以製造了。將生雞蛋的蛋清直接敷在破皮部位，並不會因此而增加膠原蛋白的。除此之外，還有一項要更注意的是生雞蛋可能含有細菌，若敷在破皮部位，小心會造成感染。
