Scorpion sting treatment

Post by Wiz »

Here's a handy tidbit I just found out yesterday when my wife was stung by a scorpion. Make a paste of baking soda and water, and cover the sting with it. It evidently draws out the venom. She was stung on the finger, and it felt fine after about an hour with her finger in the paste. Today you'd never know it had happened.

Maybe everyone already knew this, but it was news to me.

OK, as impartial referee, I have to say that Hooli's winning so far!
That reminds me of a Rolling Stones song from their "Dirty Work" album that fits this topic well.

well sure, if you go by the theory that " Often the best way to win is to forget to keep score" :lol:

And paying Mrs. Mike for her opinion is just plain cheating!!!! :wink:

Watch out, Mike, your wife is checking out Hooli's Jeep! :o
