Question: How does holding a steak on a black eye help you!?
I'm watching Gangs of New York just now and there's a part where Daniel Day Lewis slaps a steak on Dicaprios' face after getting punched and wondered why that would help, Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Never put raw meat on a black eye!. There is a first aid myth that putting steak on a black eye will help it heal faster!. It will not!. In fact, putting raw meat on a black eye is more likely to cause an infection (see E coli)!.

Besides our grandmothers what medical experts recommend this!?

RICE works best for bruises, burns and sprains ::
R - rest
I - ice
C - compression
E - elevation!.
Besides, steak is too expensive these days!
