Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hubby just got into a nest of ground hornets and got stung pretty bad. 8 or more stings that I can see. He had me put on sting ease but all that is is amonia. Not sure how much that will help. I did a search and it suggested plantain leaves as a anihisimine. I'm afraid of giving him to much. Should I just put on baking soda or is there something that is better to use? Thankyou Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'd gather up a bunch of plantain and mash it into a pulp and apply the pulp to the stings Paula ...... in Michigan www.farmfreshsoapsandcandles.com Hubby just got into a nest of ground hornets and got stung pretty bad. 8 or more stings that I can see.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I saw on TV (it was " Trauma in the ER " or " Code Blue " - love those shows) where one of the docs crushed an aspirin and made a paste with water for itching bug bites on her own feet. My DD tried thisand said it really helped - might help stings too. ortunately I haven't had a need yet this summer!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 That is alot of stings. How is he? This is what found. Sage tea: rub it on Yellow onion: rub or put on. Baking soda: I see baking soda and cram of tartar with a bit of watr to make a paste. Vinegar: vinegar mix with flax and apply Apple: place a piece of raw apple n the bite. --- On Mon, 6/29/09, Jan Gifford <jangiff wrote: Jan Gifford <jangiff Re: hornet stings Monday, June 29, 2009, 1:18 PM I saw on TV (it was " Trauma in the ER " or " Code Blue " - love those shows) where one of the docs crushed an aspirin and made a paste with water for itching bug bites on her own feet.
