don't stick your hand in ice, you'll get freezer burn, run it under cold water for 5 minutes at least.

catatonicsleep - actually, that depends where you live. Where I live, it's so warm that ice begins melting as soon as you take it out of the freezer, so if you stuck your hand in a bucket of ice you'd have no chance of getting freezer burn. That said, running water is still the best thing for a burn.
