Just learned about this a week ago, and had a chance to try it on my son a few days later. He got stung in the small of the back. So, we got a paper towel and soaked it with ......


Cider vinegar.

None of your phony flavored stuff, now - you need to use the real thing. Put the paper towel on the sting and held it there. It took the pain out in a few minutes, and after about 10 or 15 minutes there was nothing left but a redish patch about the size of a quarter. No pain. No swelling.


This on an 8 year old who normally would have been in serious pain for an hour or so.

Simply amazing! I'm told it works for bee stings, too.

I've found that plain old household ammonia, applied the same way works wonders. In early spring the deerflies do a real number on me, the ammonia takes the sting away and almost no swelling. I looked on a commercial sting stick and the prominant ingredience was..... ammonia.

I don't doubt it!

Somewhere in her archives, I hope my Mom still has a small book her mother gave her. Something like 101 uses for cider vinegar. Mixed with honey, it makes a very effective treatment for sore throats. Grandma had used most of the remedies in the book, I think and said they all worked.

She finally gave up roto-tilling her garden at 80plus, and her chickens at about 85. She passed peacefully at 99.

I guess she knew a thing or two about keeping healthy. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
