Stop Bleeding With Ground Black Pepper<<<

I understand the Military has used white sugar to stop bleeding on the battlefield. Simple as pouring it in the wound.

Mosquito bites last one month for me.

When I used the Off or what ever it was called, to keep them away and still got bit, I found that spraying it on the bite cured the problems at once.

My bites get sprayed with a 2/3 vinegar and 1/3 water [about, as I just pour it in the spray bottle] and add a dash of peppermint essential oil to the mix, works on all the bites.

So does Avon Skin So Soft bath oil, we have a biting knat and the bait shops in the Bullhead city area, used to buy it by the case to sell the fishermen.

LOL, we went in a small donut shop down there and they had a case of Skin So Soft for sale.

I used it on my horses, for they also got bit.

And they say to just put a sheet that one puts in the clothes dryer on your belt or hat or ? and it will keep them away.

SSS has citronella in it which repels mosquitoes.

Speaking of essential oil......I got my ginger oil from Amazon over the weekend. I had hubby bring it up to the mountains so I could try it on the way home. He was driving down the hill (and as usual, tried to get home as fast as possible!). I sniffed the ginger oil about 4 times and didn’t get car sick once! Seems to work as good as the ginger capsules. But the best part is that my cat that gets car sick only drooled a little at the end of the 23 miles of windy roads. I held the bottle about 6 inches from his nose, since I wasn’t sure if breathing it in would be bad for him. He sniffed the air, so I know he smelled that something different was there. Anyway, he did pretty good and I’m convinced it’s because of the ginger essential oil.
