Dandelions

To treat Bee stings take out the stinger using your finger nail or tweezers and clean it with whatever you might have available to clean with. Next gather dandelions from a patch of grass. The part of the dandelions that will be used is the leaves and the stems. Discard the flowers. Grind up the dandelion stems and leaves into a poultice. If you don’t have something to crush them in you can chew them to crush it. Now you can apply to the bee sting to help reduce inflammation and ease discomfort.

i thought this was pretty cool so thought i would share with everyone

Hmm...I didn't know you could do that. Smile

Was that in your Tom Brown book? Very Happy
