I love tattoos but dread the healing process because I am allergic to any time of ointment and lotions tend to make me break out. Normally the healing for my tattoos is red, itchy mess for about a month or more. I was so excited to hear my tattoo artist tell me to use coconut oil.
Here are the steps you need to take after someone who is allergic has been stung: 1  Remove any stingers immediately. Some experts recommend scraping out the stinger with a credit card. 2  Applying ice to the site may provide some mild relief. Apply ice for 20 minutes once every hour as needed.
Thank you for the wonderful information about fire ant bites! One you definitely should add to the list of home remedies is Plantain extract; I have used this many, many times and keep a bottle on hand, especially in the summer. Plantain extract is a proven fire ant bite remedy which people can find at natural foods stores and some pharmacies.
