I KNOW how that hurts ........ while changing the wheel position on a lawn mower I touched the hot muffler ........ burned 2 fingers pretty good .......... it hurt like hell ............. but mine was not as large as yours and I didn't burn the skin off so I know you were in a lot of pain ......... hope everything heals well .........
I always where gloves, long sleeve shirts, long pants, socks, shoes, apron and eye protection .............. little skin exposed
