Guest guest Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 Bites And Stings So you were cleaning out the gutters this spring and a wasp stung you. You'll be glad to know that plantain, a very common weed in yards and gardens, can be used in a poultice to safely take the pain out of mosquito bites and bee stings. A little lavender oil rubbed on the sting or bite is another alternative. Or combine plantain and witch hazel for a soothing wash.If you were stung, remove the stinger, wash the area in cold water, then gather up some of those plantain leaves from your yard to mash up and apply on the sting. If you are allergic to stings, seek medical attention first. This remedy is for those people who are not allergic to stings.- Carla JoyMM Comments: If you are allergic to these stings, then you must take a strong antihitimine, the get an epenerpherine shot ASAP!
