Being raised in the suburbs and only 41 <g>, I don't have any home remedies passed down from my Mom or Grandma. But since moving to Arkansas several years ago, I've heard many interesting home remedies. Recently one of the local news stations did a series on home remedies. According to the plastic surgeon interviewed, the only home remedy for burns that is safe is aloe straight from the plant. He said the acid in vinegar could make the burn worse. I do know from experience that tobacco does help a bee or wasp sting. We had lived here less than a year, when my then 4 year old son was stung on the face by a wasp. I had heard that chewing tobacco applied to a sting would help. At the time I smoked and decided to try wet tobacco from a broken cigarette. It worked like a charm, kind of gross but effective. My two cents. Dani
