I read in a book somewhere about how doctors in India (I think), were using honey-soaked gauze on all soft tissue wound (burns, surgery, etc) to speed healing and prevent infection.  It was explained how delicate bees are and the protection they need.  

One night I got a really bad burn on my hand because I forgot to put my oven mitt back on.  It was big and it was red !!  I immediately doused it with organic honey and wouldn't you know it, I never felt any pain.  I never got a blister and I never had a scar.  5 mins later it was like I had never been burned in the first place.  I did keep refreshing the honey/gauze for a few days, and by the it had healed completely.  It's a miracle thing for burns, I swear.  give it try (but I hope you never need to)
