Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Laura, this is the kind of thing people like me want to hear...what simple thing has fixed someone's problem. I'm so thankful you posted about the garlic. I have tried sliced garlic on a huge skin tag, and all that happened was that the skin tag got mad. LOL!!!! Elaine - Laura Parker twobears Wednesday, September 04, 2002 2:05 AM [herbal remedies] Re: Boils & garlie About 15 years ago, I was lying in bed and noticed what I though was a boil or bug bite on my upper thigh and thought, "Hum, that's been around awhile." A few days later, I happened to lay my hand on my groin above that bit and noticed the lymph nodes were noticably sore and swollen and tender to the touch. No other symptom. I went to the Dr immediately as the symptom was so bizzare. He couldn't figure it out. From then on, I developed a fever that got progressively higher, over 103 for the next two weeks. I went to the emergency room; had blood work ups, nothing. Finally, I said the heck with this and put a clove of garlic on it. In retrospect, that was too extreme; today, I would use garlic mashed in olive oil and left to sit for 8 hours. The garlic burned and left scaring, but the boil or whatever it was turned black and dropped off; the fever disappeared with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 FYI Elaine, you didn't say how long you put the garlic slab on the skin tag...but when I did mine, it " got mad " after a few days, and then after a few more days (for about a total of six) it fell off. So it might have been working! (Or it might have just been mad. ST >Laura, this is the kind of thing people like me want to hear...what simple >thing has fixed someone's problem.
