i heard that as well but the 'burning' thing seemed like it would hurt more...just think if someone put their hands on you and their body temp was 197.2...my driveway has gone WELL over 150 on a hot day and its unbearable even on my worn 35 yo feet...kinda the same thing...and i dont THROW them back in either i lay them in and let them go on their own accord out of my hand
