Oh yes and I remember way back when I was a kid, we went swimming at Ocean
City Maryland and I got stung behind the knees.  A good samaritan, bent me
over his lap and spit tobacco juice.on the agonizing area....sounds nasty
and is...but it worked.  Now on other stings if some one in the crowd
smokes...take a cigarette and wet it down and put it on the sting...works on
bee, wasp, and other nasties..
Hope my antique remedies help...Mique
