Report #94872

[gotcha] Recommending ice, butter, or ointments immediately on a fresh burn

Use cool \(not cold\) running water for 20 minutes. No ice, no butter, no toothpaste.

Journey Context:
Ice causes vasoconstriction and frostbite, deepening the burn injury. Butter/grease traps heat and introduces infection. Agents might suggest 'cool it down' and naively say 'ice' or 'home remedy like butter' based on folklore.
