RE: Insane reaction!
If this was eczema there are several solutions, this is more like a poison ivy reaction with the blisters popping up and breaking and where the fluid leaks starts the cycle all over again, add the swelling to 3 times the normal size and it really turned into a battle of getting the swelling down. The cold water worked to get the heat out of the legs and the epsom salt to draw out the poison (still do not understand how a mosquito bite reacted like poison).
Learning the herbals to use is a must in my opinion.
The herbs/weeds are a gift from our Creator and we need to know they need to be used (he created them for us)!
I heard there is a new mosquito over in our area now (upper Midwest US) that is causing some bizarre secondary infection with it's bites. There are warnings going up to parents telling us to watch for fever, lethargy and extreme swelling from mosquito bites. I haven't looked into it at all, but I wonder if you managed to get zapped with one of those guys and it interacted particularly badly with some compromised part of your immune system.
Whatever the case...ouch!
I'm thrilled as I'm beginning to learn the names and uses of the various weeds I've been pulling out of the yard for years. Some of them are actually very useful - like that stinging nettle I may have finally succeeded in eradicating after years of not realizing it was something special. Oh well.
