Take the Sting Out of Insect Bites

by Chet Day

There are almost as many insect bite home remedies as

there are seeds in a pomegranate.

Here are a few of the more interesting ones I've read

about lately.

1) Soak the affected area with vinegar.

2) Put a cotton bowl dipped in ammonia on the bite to

draw out the stinger and reduce the pain and itch.

3) Smash up a clove of garlic and place the poultice

on the affected area.

4) Spread some honey onto an old cloth. Place some ice

cubes on top of the honey. Wrap up the cloth and

place on affected area.

5) Kill a rattlesnake and then eat some of the meat

every day for the next week. (I don't recommend this

one since monkeying with rattlesnakes is dangerous,

but I included it anyway for any snake handlers out

there reading today's health tip.)
