Everyone, I do mean everyone, should have a plant somewhere in the house
or yard. They do freeze, but other than that, they are easy to handle.
If burned (heat, sun, chemical) rip a "leaf" off the plant, split it, and
rub on the juice. Doesn't replace other treatment for serious burns, but
it helps, both immediately and over several days.
