This one was because I'd been handling all kinds of hot things with the rubberized gloves all night and didn't consider that the back of the fingers weren't protected all the way up. I reached for a vacuum-sealed bag of chili that was thawing in boiling water and bobbing just at the surface and when it went under I went in after it. So yeah, I gotta be more careful but they weren't totally boneheaded mistakes.


I didn't intend to call you bone-headed. Steam burns are sneaky indeed. Not unlike acid burns: by the time you notice something is wrong, you're late, often too late.
