Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 These are not brown recluse bites, but I don't know what they are. I didn't take the activated charcoal internally, but made poultices;extremely messy, all over rugs, staining old porcelain, etc. The charcoal is so powerful, the instructions said to discontinue prescriptions (and vitamins). Not a good idea to discontinue Oleander, silver and other Immune healers. So I used fewer poultices yesterday, and went to buffered vitamin C powder. Roughly 40,000 units later, the ear and lymph pain is GONE, as is swelling. I'm continuing Vitamin C, a bit less, but every hour or so with food today. Getting rid of the spiders is something else! I simply swept the ceilings again, and put borax powder all over the rugs. An internet site said that getting rid of cardboard cartons will help too. So I am. Bought a gazillion largee sealable plastic bins. Any other suggestions! Rhoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi Rhoda; for Black Widow bites, 1 drop of lavender oil every 2-3 minutes over the bite until you reach the hospital. Brown Recluse bites, either Purification blend or: 1 drop lavender, 1 drop helichrysum, 1 drop Melrose, cover with oatmeal poultice. You can go to my web site for more info on the oils. https://www.youngliving.org/davel13 oleander soup , " Rhoda Mead " <hummingbird541 wrote: > > *These are not brown recluse bites, but I don't know what they are.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 hi rhoda, i have had great success with diatomaceous earth. my upstairs neighbor had a HUGE (and disgusting) bedbug infestation that was entering my apartment. i was really allergic to the bites and i can relate to the grumpiness and depression when getting eaten alive. if you haven't heard, they are a real pain to get rid of (at least with typical applications), and i am so very thankful to have the dust work quickly and easily. i think it has been the best treatment overall, and i haven't seen them since in my apartment or his since then. it will kill all bugs (it also killed the cockroaches that we sometimes have problems with). in the meantime you could also try eating raw garlic everyday (if you are not opposed to smelling like it) to help keep them off you. it takes a few days for it to accumulate, so you may want to do neem oil on your skin at the same time. clay mixed with tea tree oil can help draw out the poison from the bite and soothe it. here's part of a page that i typed out for the building manager to give to tenants to treat bed bugs in particular, but it will kill spiders too. you may not need to do the intense bagging and washing if it isn't a bad infestation: Treatment: Wash your bedding every 3 days in the hottest water possible and then a hot dryer. Nightclothes should be changed daily, and laundry kept bagged up in plastic until they can be washed in hot water--adding an enzyme detergent if possible. Anything that can’t be washed in hot water, freeze for 3 days. Bag up any articles (books, papers, boxes, etc.) under or near the bed or couches (anywhere you hang out a lot). If there is a large infestation, consider throwing things out, and bagging just what you can’t part with. Bag the mattress and box spring in vinyl mattress covers. Pull your bed away from the walls. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth between mattresses and any crevices around the bed, in couch creases, floor, and any places you’ve seen them hanging out. Basically, you want to create a moat so anything that wants to get to you, has to go through the dust first. Also, it should be applied around baseboards, inside electrical outlets and light switches. Take away their hiding places by sealing up cracks in the walls and floors, and around electrical outlets and light switches with caulk. If you are dealing with a heavy infestation, have some Orange Guard spray (also non-toxic) on hand to kill on contact. To keep them off your body in the meantime, take a bath with neem oil added to it before bed. It’s stinky, but it works to repel them and it is good for the skin. Shower your body--especially hair--with hot water every morning as soon as you get out of bed. There are many treatments and sprays (which can unfortunately create mold if sprayed too much) for eliminating bugs, however, using hot water for laundry and using diatomaceous earth seems to be most effective, time efficient, cheapest, and least toxic. Diatomaceous Earth: Diatomaceous earth is non-toxic, however you do not want to breathe it. Wear a dust mask when applying and try not to apply in a way that disperses it into the air. Diatomaceous earth, made from fossil shells, has tiny sharp edges that is not harmful to humans, but acts as tiny razorblades to insects. It will also kill roaches, ants, fleas, spiders, etc. Usually, you only need a thin layer to be effective, but if you don’t get results, use more. It lasts forever as an insect killer as long as it stays dry. best of luck, sabine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
