Homegrown Solutions


My kids' grandpa has given me two quite interesting suggestions that he's heard about....just thought I'd pass them along:


For bee stings, immediately apply A PENNY to prevent swelling, allergic reaction, and infection. Rumor has it the copper in the penny counteracts the bite. (I'm sure it's still wise to consult a doctor, though!)


To deal with mosquitoes, pour Listerine into a spray bottle and spritz all over: lawn, deck, chairs, tables, swing set, etc.( It might work and is certainly cheaper than bug spray, but I'd beware of spraying directly on your nice wood!)


If you try these ideas before I get a chance to, let me know if they actually work!
