What a bunch of wackkos! If your not drunk then your sure on something pretty strong. When I was little and going to church on the bus I always sat
in the back and never thought anything about it but then again it was( my choice). Mans inhumanity to man, as seen on this board. Soy Sauce, a little
dab will do ya! There was no mention of bathing in it. Everyone hold your breath for 20 minutes and things will normalize.
We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

Fact is...I dont think I ever seen a post by DENNIS that clawed away at non whites. Just my two cents worth. |

The Top 38 time-proven bug-bite remedies...
"Ye shall find all ye seek on the Internet"
(Please remit 2 cents to Al Gore before reading
1. We have asps and assassin bugs from time to time. Both bites/brushes sting like crazy and within seconds will cause huge whelps and pain.
After going through every rememdy and medicine in the cabinet trying to relieve the burning/stinging, we found a tube of Preparation H.
Apply the cream to the area and relief is seconds away. Due to what Preparation H was designed to do, it reduces the swelling, and also the itch for
almost 24 hours.
2. Rub a small amount of eczma cream and take hayfever tablet
3. For mosquito bites:
Take a cotton ball, soak it with mouthwash (I have only tried Scope), and drip some on the bite. It might sting a little. You can also rub the soaked
cotton ball on the bite if it doesn't stop itching in about 15 seconds. I heard this from my aunt and so far it has worked almost every time.
(P.S. Auntie would like to ask is anyone has a remedy for multiple scab scarring..?)
4. Tea Tree Oil. Apply directly to bite or sting. Instantly numbs and sterilizes the wound. Works on bee stings, spider bites, flea bites, mite
bites, the works as far I know in California.
5. I use 'Skin so Soft from Avon and I don't get bitten even once. It's a good mosquito and insect repellent.
(also makes a good fish attractant.)
6. Crush aspirin and mix with a drop or two of water. Apply to bite to help reduce swelling and sting within seconds. I do this at night and cover
with a bandaid leaving it on overnight. Always works. I have tried deodorant and also have tried baking soda. This definately works though.
(Which one?)
7. I'm a lifelong believer in Baking Soda, Vinegar and tobacco remedies for insect bites,itches, rashes, etc. but when that doesn't work completely
[ie, still itches &/or leaves big, red welt] do this: REMOVE THE VENOM!!
I have a small vacuum pump [for minor automotive uses]. Center the hose-cup over the welt, and let remain for about 1 minute...the 'venom' will be
extracted and you will have relief.
(You gotta love THIS one! A toolman!)
To get the mosquito each out rub baking soda on it for a little bit, it helps with the itch and gets the bite to pass faster.
8. we have a family remedy for bee stings past down from generation to generation from cherakee side of my family use tobaco or snuff wet just a
little and stick on where u r stung put a bandad on it to hold it in place
(Dear snuff user..cherakee is spelled cherokee by the Aniyunwiya cherakees I know. I'm letting 'bandad' go for now..)
9. When I was a child we had alot of blackberry bushes around our house so in the summer there were alot of bees. I would get stung on a regular
basis. My mom always said put mud on it. I know it sound crasy but yeah put mud on it, let it dry and wash off. The mud is cool so the pain
will stop and while it drys it draws out the stinger. You won't even itch afterwards.
(are there NO spelling police on this site...??)
10. Use ice not heat to heal itchy bites. It constricts blood vessels which keeps the histamines (itch causers) from reaching your skin.
I learned this in nursing school.
(mmm...mud?...nurse?...Say, did you ever date a tall guy with a silver t-top firebird?)
11. Gentlemen while touring the Volcanic Crater Community El Valle de Anton, Panama, bought a product called Gruber´s Jungle Oil for a severe
reaction to sanfly bites. chit, this stuff not only repels insects but in a few minutes it removed the itching and allergic reactions. Its made by a
local herbalist called Botanico Gruber. I recommend it highly! Its available there in the arts and crafts market.
11. For insect bites, take childrens benedryl or adults, whatever is available to you, and dab benedryl over the affected area, a nurse told me this,
i tried it, and it really works great.
12. for insect bites, place a towel warmed by hot water over the area, this may comfort the swelling and may reduce the size. after which put
toothpaste in it, any menthol toothpaste will fo. when u feel the coldness of the toothpaste remove it and apply medicine
13. If you are highly allergic to wasp stings (I am): 1) immediately make a thick paste of meat tenderizer and water and apply to the sting to
neutralize the venom, 2) take a double dose of benadryl to calm your body's reaction, and 3) most important take Apis (a homeopathic remedy) every two
hours. This totally cured a HORRIBLE swelling, itching reaction for me in less than 2 days. My previous HORRIBLE reaction took 3 weeks to clear up and
I was on steroids! But, if you're having breathing problems, forget all this and get to the hospital immediately.
14. Try a little dab of honey on insect bites always works for me.
(mind if I rub my english muffin on you?)
15. Remedy for itchy mosquito bites. ....take a needle, a sewing needle works best, and burn the tip to sterilize it. Then, once it has cooled down
of course, poke a hole intp your mosquito bite where you think the mosquito but its mouth in. Then squeeze your mosquito bite until it bleeds out the
venom, you will be able to see it, and it will take 2 days to go away.
16. For Mosquitoes bites, get a teaspoon of Lavender oil and Rosemary seasoning from your garden or your nearby grocery stores. get a grinding bowl
and put Rosemary seasoning and the Lavender oil in together and start grinding. Then when it's mixed, put it on your skin when you're outside working.
Mosquitoes don't like the scent of Rosemary and Lavender. Try it. It works for me.
(sounds like we use to do for fun in cellblock 8)
17. For bee stings and other insect bites, try this. Get a leaves of a Plantain plant, a weed found in most gardens. Grind the leaf in the palm of
your hand until the liquid comes of out them. Apply the liquid to the bite. Repeat this every 3-4 hours as needed.
A better alternative method would be to chew the leaves and then apply the chewed leaves as a poultice to the affected area.
(sounds like what we used to do in cellblock 8 when our stash ran out)
18. big bites
baking soda with water mix it till paste.
(weren't you here before?)
19.
I know this sounds nasty, but i swear it works. When someone gets stung by a wasp,bee,or ect. Mix your saliva and tobbaco from a cigarette together
and place a ball of it on the sting. It stops swelling and pain.
20. For stings (and for that matter, also splinters), apply regular household glue over the site and once the glue dries, gently peel it off the
skin. The stinger and/or splinter will be pulled out of the site in the glue. For itching mosquito bites, general household ammonia does the trick.
Hope it helps
(in Cellblock 8 we never wasted good sniffing glue..)
21. apply clorox bleach directly to bite or sting will kill sting will not get infected works great on all bites and stings [does not hurt] use 2 or
3 times if you want
(I think I heard that Michael Jackson did this once or twice, didn't he?..or it could have been Liberace.)
22. To keep from getting bitten by masquitos take a dryer sheet and rub it on you and your clothing. Something about the dryer sheets they dont like
and will keep them away from you...
(hey, this also works great in your socks and shorts drawers...especially the unwashed ones...)
23. Apply roll on deoderant to the area. Relieves itching, and helps stop swelling. This works every time.
24. When I had an insect bite on my foot. My friend from CHILE coated my foot with a thick lather of soap,Then wraped my foot in a warm wet towl,And
repated this every time the towl dried.The soap helped draw out the infection.
(duh...that's an old ploy used by Chilean boys to score with Chilean girls..)
25. spray hair spray directly over a bee sting to stop the burning
(burning? Well, hell yes, there's gonna be plenty of that when that hair spray catches fire..dimwit.)
26. For insect,spider bites and bee stings apply preparation H to affected area 3-4 tims a day.This will take the itching and swelling away in a day
or less.Do not use near eyes or on small children that may put affected area in their mouth.
(welcome back..H-man.)
27. if you have been stung or bitten get some toothpaste like aquafresh and rub it on the stung area
28. Make a paste consisting of one (1) aspirin with a drop of water and apply to the bee sting. The stinging ceases within seconds. DO NOT USE IF
ALLERGIC TO ASPIRIN.
(and do not fasten a plastic bag over your head)
29. Apply immediately sodium bicarb moist with water immediately after the bee stings. It gives immediate relief in pain. If sodium bicarb is not
available, apply a bit of tooth paste. It also works nicely.
30. Take vitamin A to prevent bugs from biting you.
(vitamins are okay, but do not take Viagra naked in a swarm of bees)
31. Make a paste from water and ground-up asprin. Apply to bite or sting and allow to dry to reduce swelling.
32. Use pennyroyal tea with a drop of eucalyptus as an insect repellant.
33. Apply aloe vera gel, baking soda and water, garlic oil, honey, plaintain tea, safflower oil, or vinegar to the affected area.
(and then roll around in your salad)
34. Apply lemon juice and cornstarch or lobelia extract and myrrh to painful or itchy stings and bites.
(dang..ran out of myrrh and lobida yesteday when the neighbor came to borrow a cup)
35. Hang dried tomato leaves near windows to ward off bugs.
(you saw that vegan Dracula movie, too,right?
36. Make a paste of water and meat tenderizer and apply it to the affected area.
(yes, yes, welcome back to you, too..)
37. Take garlic to dissuade insects from biting you.
(talk with #35 and learn..)
And finally the final one..38.
If the bug that stung you 20 times was black with a red fiddle mark on it's belly...put on your lipstick, bend over... and kiss your burro
goodbye.

This is somewhat related to Pomp's list. My grandmother dipped snuff. Once I got hit with about a dozen wasp stings on my face. She rubbed snuff on
them and it did feel better... but yuck!
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

I had a very close experience, Oso...with the remedy my Aunt Alice used on us kids way back when. (Big Al, as everyone called her. Really..she was
6'1" ...and nobody messed with her)
Big Al did not dip snuff, though,but she did chew Beechnut tobacco plugs and would gum some of it on my bites. It may have actually worked in the
short time the chew was on me...who could know?..I got washed off right quick.
