Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I gathered some mullein flowers and was about to start infusing them when i noticed a bunch of little bugs on the wilted flowers (that i pretty much gathered with the flowers). is there a safe way to remove them? or should i just toss them in the oil with the flowers and hope they strain out (is that what " wildcrafted " really means? LOL) they look like little harmless gnat type bugs ... or do i have to discard these flowers? any thoughts or suggestions? TIA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Dip or soak them in very cold water for a bit, they should let go and be rinsed away pretty easy. Thats what I have to do with my lettece since it is so tender the bugs just can't get enough....LOL!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks! I already rinsed the flowers which got rid of a lot of them, but i'll try dipping/soaking too. - " Ravenstone Willowbend " <ravenstonewillowbend Friday, July 01, 2005 11:34 AM Re: bugs & infusions Dip or soak them in very cold water for a bit, they should let go and be rinsed away pretty easy.
