TIFU by cooking with splattering bacon fat, nearly loosing an eye, and loosing eyebrow hair instead.

I kinda love bacon. Last night I made bacon, simple enough, and then I fried up delish burger patties in the bacon renderings. Yummers. Things got splattery and I hear that sound you all know, that sudden sharp POP. I flinched turned slightly and squinted all in the span of .015 seconds. By some miracle the projectile of hot bacon fat, going approximately 1 billion miles an hour, missed my precious seeing organs. My eye balls were safe, it hit my eyebrow instead. No big deal, a slight stinging wiped away with a cool towel. I carefully turn down the heat to lessen the splatter and move on with the delicious meal. Consume delicious meal and don't think about the burning bacon fat splatter again. Until... This morning. Do the usual morning bathing, apply moisturizer, do my usual eyebrow groom and then I see it. A big ol chunk of my brow is just... Gone. No hair, bright white, smooth and shiny skin glowing in it's place. Since the previous night's bacon fat dance was not forefront on my mind I scoured the internet trying to figure out why my eyebrow hair was falling out. Like everything else on the internet, this led me to believe I was seriously ill and shouldn't have cheaped out on the medical plan option this year (a story for another time and another sub). It was about 4 hours and 2 panic attacks later that I remembered being hit with a flying ball of burning fat, which obviously is going to burn and affect the hair at the burn site. At this point I'm just hoping it grows back so I don't have draw half my eyebrow in for the rest of my life. I'm also going to apologize to my best friend for telling her how positive I was that I had an underlying undiagnosed serious illness, because why else could I be loosing eyebrow hair so suddenly and dramatically.

Tldr; bacon grease burned my eyebrow. I forgot about that and freaked out when I had missing eyebrow hair the next day.
