Never heard of this but the fact that mud dobbers use mud to construct their homes and mud being a good healer...........corrine <raindanceblue@...> wrote:

I just found out through my mother that my grandmother used to make a paste out of dirt dobber nest, to use for medical purposes. But she does not remember what she used it for. Do you have any clues?What's sad is that my grandmother died when my mother was young and did not pass on her knowledge of old timers medicine. My momremembers her doing all kinds of rememdies from barks and roots and even dirt dobber nest, but does not remember what for. Thanks for reading.

I have heard of something about this, but no one I

asked remembers, and too many have died now. But a

couple did suggest (of the living folk) that it might

have in fact been from using mud for wasp stings, not

mud dauber nests for anything.
