    Its summer, and I am hearing a lot of my friends talk about insect bites and spider bites. Let me introduce you to a little plant called Plantain. You probably call it a weed. It grows everywhere, even in gravel, as you can see. For bites of all kinds you can not beat this plant. Just pluck a leaf, crush it up with your fingers, and hold it on the bite. You can even put a band aid over it and hold it there that way for a while. The leaf will draw the poison or venom out of bite. Its magic. I have friends who have used it on brown recluse spider bites with great success.

    It looks similar to this plant that in the UK is known as the Dock weed or broad leaved dock. It is nearly always found near to the stinging nettle plant for some reason, and has the ability to neuter or releave the sting from those nettles.

    It certainly works well as all you need do is similar to what you describe, crush it and rub the resultant juices onto where it stings and in a very short time the pain has gone.

    That's interesting Nev. I wonder if either of them work for bee stings or mosquito bites.
