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.
