I was bitten recently by an unknown flying creature. Someone suggested I put toothpaste on the bite. I thought this was strange but decided to put a drop on the bite anyway. I have to say that within a few hours the swelling had subsided and it no longet itched.



Have you a strange remedy?

Mmm ....I have but not sure I can share it with the forum .... moderators and all that !



Toothpast eh .... must try that. I swear by Tea Tree Oil, as a cure all.

A friend of mine swigs aloe vera for a hang over - he swears by that too.

Yes - I've heard of the Aloe Vera remedy. Never tried it mind you. Now what were you saying about this strange remedy you have? Does it work?

How about this as a hangover cure also.



The simple ingredients are olive oil, garlic, saffron, eggs, and breadcrumbs. The broth is so easy to prepare that hangover victims may even attend to themselves. It does bear a resemblance to dishwater but is supposed to be rather tasty.

Yoghurt or the inside of melon skin for sunburn, they both soothe, cool and moisturise at the same time. Really works but the yoghurt makes a hell of a mess of the bed clothes.

I swear by aloe vera for everything. Great hangover cure but costs me more here than a bottle of Chablis xx
