Submit this to Sedgwick in case you need to get looked at by a doctor!

girl this is a workplace injury you should have filed a report after it happened
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 4 points 6m ago
Damn I didn’t know

shame on your SSV for not telling you and vouching for your rights as a fellow worker
bestowcurse 3 points 6m ago
I've filed through sedgwick and got ignored so it's, like, 50/50
Makorra45 3 points 6m ago
I never heard of that either. Good to know if that happens again

My boss has called getting burnt by the grilled cheese a "rite of passage" because of how frequently it happens. Hope you're ok, as another comment said go see a doctor if possible
I_Main_Oru 43 points 6m ago
I love when managers relabel getting injured and traumatized as a "right of passage" 😍
Epona_02 16 points 6m ago
y’all are both wrong, it’s “rite”
Garfield_Simp 4 points 6m ago
I'll fix my comment lol

Just an FYI, make sure you’re putting grilled cheese butter side down. I haven’t checked but have heard many say that it says it on the package and have found it’s less likely to be as greasy. Hope your hand heals quickly!!!
BuyerOk6692 17 points 6m ago
i burnt myself with a grilled cheese butter side down bc the butter melted onto the paper and then slid off onto my arm
willywankaz432 5 points 6m ago
Every time I took it out I stepped back and let the grease fall on the ground.
darkwolf523 3 points 6m ago
Rip.
badatlife15 3 points 6m ago
Oh no!! That sucks! I know I’ve gotten a burn from the double smoked bacon, but I don’t think I ever got one from grilled cheese. I also got one because I was reaching in for egg bites that were sliding and someone was trying to walk behind me so I hit my arm on the side of the oven.
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 6 points 6m ago
Thank you so much , I will definitely remember this (:
darkwolf523 2 points 6m ago
Really? I haven’t seen it either

something i keep on me at work is lavender oil (none of my partners are allergic)! if put on a burn soon after getting burned, it can help prevent blistering. it’s very helpful.
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 8 points 6m ago
Thank you so much! I’ll have to try that out bc it hurts so bad
idkcassie 10 points 6m ago
absolutely! it doesn’t do anything for the pain, so your first aid kit should also have proper burn cream with lidocaine to numb the area, but lavender has kept some pretty nasty burns from blistering for me.
KidKonundrum 26 points 6m ago
It happens to us all eventually. Had scars from the grilled cheese for MONTHS on my arm.
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 7 points 6m ago
Dang months?? That’s crazy
Pleasant_Time_4075 5 points 6m ago
Same
realnewtgeiszler 19 points 6m ago
Grilled cheese, impossible sandwiches, turkey bacon sandwiches, sometimes ham and swiss baguettes, and chocolate croissants are all so evil and have burned every single one of our partners at least once and scarred multiple of them
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 9 points 6m ago
Scarred for life bro. I ate a grilled cheese the next day as a way to overcome my trauma lmao
Ok_Sprinkles6692 7 points 6m ago
And the cinnamon-butter from a warmed cinnamon coffee cake!
Helpful_Hour_2195 2 points 6m ago
Came to say this!! Burned my finger the other day by that
ironic_nic 6 points 6m ago
don’t forget the egg bite grease, I have a scar on my arm from those things
Sholeran 3 points 6m ago
I swear that whoever makes those, make them with malice in their souls because the burns from those happen too often
Last_Employment_1730 1 points 6m ago
I've gotten burnt from the grease on a double smoked bacon jumping out when I was taking it out
Mrsbasso_211 9 points 6m ago
Soooo sorry... been there done that! Grilled cheese is a killer!⚡️🔥🔥🔥
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 4 points 6m ago
Sorry you’ve been there before too!

Chocolate croissant burned victims 🙋
celloqueer 3 points 6m ago
oof memory unlocked. didn’t scar for me luckily but I can still feel it 💀
PotatoFairy451 7 points 6m ago
I swear those grilled cheeses are a safety hazard. I've seen so many of my coworkers get burned by them
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 4 points 6m ago
They need a warning label on the package at this point lmfao
myredditusername919 7 points 6m ago
if its legal in your state cbd cream is SO good for this stuff, pain and healing
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 4 points 6m ago
I bet it is! Too bad I’m in Texas 🙄🙄
Cute-Ice4495 2 points 6m ago
CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC are legal in texas
tyty_dj123 5 points 6m ago
The grilled cheese grease is terrifying, sorry this happened to you!
dreaminajj 5 points 6m ago
this happened to me with the impossible sandwich and a year later i still have a 5 inch long scar on my arm from the cheese 🥲
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 3 points 6m ago
Dude a yearrrr?? That’s actually terrible omg
kittietoof 4 points 6m ago

Shoddy-Trainer-8051 4 points 6m ago
I wish I could comment my own blister bubble. Gotta love warming
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 3 points 6m ago
Good times man 🥲🥲
leopardsocks 3 points 6m ago
Ugh I have a scar in the same place from a chocolate croissant🥲 keeping it covered during the day and then bandage off and aquaphor at night was helpful for mine.
lemonuponlemon 2 points 6m ago
Looks like Morrowind logo.
FunSizedTasha 2 points 6m ago
I still have a personal vendetta against the bacon Gouda for burning the snot out of my hand.
kjoy99 2 points 6m ago
Same thing happened to me, in the same spot. I have a permanent mark there now. It was blistered for 1.5 months
pumkincreamcoldbrew 2 points 6m ago
SAME IT HURT SO BAD
celloqueer 2 points 6m ago
i haven’t gotten grilled cheesed but a double smoked bacon left its mark on my arm for a few months

editing to add: I also got second degree burns because of pike spilling on my ankle while on DT.

some advice.
this might be obvious to y’all but remember that if a hot liquid soaks into clothes, it will continue burning you until you take off that clothing and can be a lot worse than bare skin alone. don’t delay—get that stuff off and run to the back. wearing water resistant shoes helps but in my case with the pike it spilled onto my pants and sock just above where shoes go up to.

and y’all I know this is in the safety training but since I’ve had people who should know better tell me wrong things, i’m gonna say it anyway. cool water. no ice, no warm water, no other nonsense (aside from burn gel from the first aid kits if you wish). just cool water.
Ok_Sprinkles6692 2 points 6m ago
Look for hydrocolloid gel or hydro-seal bandages. Once your you’ve healed for a day or two use these bandages to help the area heal up. Tried this on one of my burns. It helps a lot.
Ok_Sprinkles6692 2 points 6m ago
Yep. I’ve found them in Band-Aid brand and generic form and both have worked well for me.
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 2 points 6m ago
Where can I get that at? Like Walgreens ?
VentiCupOfIce 3 points 6m ago
Yes! Walgreens, CVS, any store, really. They’re like thicc bandaids. I use them for pimples. Cheaper than pimple patches. :) Hope that helps. Feel better.
DomainDolphin 1 points 6m ago
The other day I got a burn shaped like a whale! His name is Humphrey and I love him 🐋

That happens to me as Well with a sausage and cheeses sandwich. It hurt sooo bad! I’m sorry it happened to you
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 2 points 6m ago
Seems like cheese in general is our enemy on warming! I’m sorry it happened to you too!!
Gameb0i6 1 points 6m ago
I’ve had hot water, steamed milk and all sorts of cheese on me but I’ve never had this happen to me. Guess I just have tough skin unlike others.
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 1 points 6m ago
Damn you’re basically indestructible lmao, love that for u <3

bro mark this NSFW
StormTheParade 1 points 6m ago
I had marked this NSFW maybe 30 minutes after it was posted, is it not showing as NSFW for you?

I'm also going to slap Reddit's spoiler tag on it, just in case.
New_Fishing7319 [OP] 1 points 6m ago
