No! Do not eat.

Ingestion Dangers
The ingestion of aloe juice or latex may irritate the intestines when taken orally. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, aloe vera latex contains powerful laxative properties. Use of the aloin latex as a laxative may result in severe cramping and purging of the intestines. Misuse of aloin may lead to excessive electrolyte loss and has subsequently been banned by the Food and **** Administration for use in over-the-counter laxative medications as of 2002.

Hi Debbie:
I just googled it and it certainly appears to be.
Here is a link for you to check
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1GGGE_enCA468&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=is%20aloe%20vera%20poisonous%20to%20humans
Before I considered eating it, I would check with my family doctor.
Hope this helps.

The best treatment for burns is Silvadene cream. It's expensive but the best by far. Baring that, use Aloe vera fresh from the plant, if possible.

If you put your hand in plain white flour after a burn, will that prevent burning and blistering?

No. no no and no. Flour will temporarily stop bleeding but should NEVER be used on a burn. Mild burns should be held under cold running water for a few seconds. carefully dried and sap from an aloe vera plant. Then covered to keep out air and germs. Blistered burns should always be covered with a clean cloth and medical dought . And never puncture a blister. It helps to keep the wound clean. Cover it ligtly and seek medical aid.o
