Hi
Ms Geneva introduced me to the best sting remedy I have ever seen. Best part
it's all around you! Plantain is a native plant, commonly called a weed.
Google pics. Take a leaf and chew in your mouth for 15-20 seconds then apt to
your sting. While holding with light pressure start another leaf. Repeat a
second time and this amazing plant draws out the venom...ok most of it.
From there I'd suggest you get the Benadryl cream. It helps out some folks
w/o the drowsiness of the liquid.
Those two work best for me!
You should consider making a Plantain tinctures because it's turning cold
and they will die back. Takes about two weeks but I hear it's worth it!
Cheers
Marty
