* She is still concious * She is coughing, if you can hear coughs or any sort of sound, that mean the airway is still patent, even if only partially. Get her to bend over a chair and hit forcefully with an open palm of the hand between the shoulder bone. If this does not resolve after three strikes, call an ambulance.

If it hasn't yet blistered, hold your hand under cool running water, or place a washcloth soaked in cool water on the burned area. Then cover it with a dry bandage, such as gauze. Don't get tape on the burned area.

If it is already an open blister, DON'T run it under cool water. Just apply a dry bandage, and don't get tape on the burned area.

If the burn gets worse, or you start to feel faint or run a fever, see a doctor immediately.

hold the burned area under cool running water or apply a towel or washcloth that has been moistened with cold water. Continue doing so until the pain has subsided. Don't use ice or ice water.

A curved claw enters the skin and tissue in a front then backward manner which creates a piercing into the tissue. As the cat or dog pulls away, it can also cause a tiny rip in the skin. But the skin rip often flaps back over, so the puncture inside where you can't see it is often a slightly bit larger than what you see outside. Note: This is why you should pull a cat / dog paw forward if the claw/paw is stuck in your skin, so you can release the claw without it tearing more skin.

After a scratch that leaves a pierced or punctured injury, first use very warm running water over the injury. If on your arm, leg, mid body, fill a quart pitcher with very warm water and pour it over the wound. If you can, pour in the direction of the way the curved claw entered. Do not pull open the wound. Next, apply Neosporin or Polysporin and cover with a Band-Aid. Apply more sporin new Band-Aid a couple times a day.

If the wound gets infected--which is common with claw scratches-- remove the Band-Aid. rinse the area, and lay an extra hot washcloth, folded, on the injury. Leave it for 10-15 minutes, then reapply Neosporin Band-Aid. You can re-do the warm compress 3 to 4 times a day.

If you notice a red line going from the wound up your skin, or a lot of pus, contact a doctor. You might need an oral antibiotic.

Why would you need to suck oil out of a motor anyway?

There are always dangers when you introduce a petroleum product into an orifice of your body. Even if you spit it out you will have a film of oil on your tongue and cheeks on the inside of your mouth. You will swallow some of the oil by letting it coat your tongue when sucking it through a straw!

It's a really dumb thing to do and even dumber to ask such a question. I think that you really could use a psychiatric examination!
