The Potato Cure for Bug Bites.

[mysticalmalissa]

We hope you don't need this remedy, but in case of an insect sting, relief may be right on your cupboard shelf. Apply ice for one half hour and then try one of these remedies for one half hour. We caution you to apply AROUND the stung area. Do not put directly on broken skin. A slice of raw onion A slice of raw potato Grated or sliced horseradish root Wet salt Toothpaste This should help relieve pain and keep down swelling.

 I have actually heard of a few of these..Pretty cool. I have used salt before on a bee sting and it kinda worked.
