Another Home Remedy

My general contractor, the "stingee" of yesterday's post, has come up with another home remedy for a hornet sting, to be administered immediately after it happens. It is as follows:

"To reduce swelling following a stinging incident, a person may use several sting remedies. A convenient material to place on the sting site is moistened table salt. Mound the dry salt on the sting entry point and moisten with a few drops of water. Leave the salt on the site for several minutes. This procedure must be applied within three to four minutes following the stinging incident to be effective."

The best plan is sting avoidnace.
