I got a burn on my finger from grease spatter while pan frying pork
chops this evening. I should have put aloe on it right away. We have
an aloe plant in our window. I eventually did apply aloe, but it still
hurts. Right now I have a split aloe leaf, juicy side down, resting on
the burn, inside a finger cot. I don't know what substance is produced
by aloe that helps burns, but I wonder if that substance is produced in
greater concentrations by aloe leaves that have been subjected to
intense sunlight, as a protective for the plant against UV damage, and
whether the wimpy aloe plant that we have in a west window might not
contain a high concentration of that healing substance.
