I got posion on both of my arms, and last night they where itching like crazy. My mother told me to put Clorox on the spots and sure enough it stopped the itching and is looking alot better today.

I've heard of and have used both.
Seems the bleach method worked better and lasted longer.

I used Bleach on active duty, it was a bit easier to keep a small bottle of it in my ruck.

I thought that helps the medicine go down....

One of my favorites (oh, and I've got a bunch&#33: Taping a quarter over a kid's umbilical hernia. I remember the first time I saw that as a resident and I had to ask the parents: "Uh, why is there money attached to your baby's abdomen?" By the way, ya'll -- doesn't work.

Another good one (that's actually effective, honest&#33: Duct tape on warts

Baking soda mixed with just a bit of water on a bee sting...

Note From Personal Experience:

"Itching Powder" of the sort which can be bought in "Novelty Stores" and "Magic Shoppes" around the country is actually nothing but ground fiberglass.

While, in the short term, putting said "Itching Powder" in your sister's leotard before her recital with the Memphis Ballet might sound hilarious, especially if you're 10, I can guarantee you that the itch lasts one freakin' hell of a lot longer than the joke, and your relatives will refrain from killing you only because they want to make sure you live to regret it. A good, long time.

We had a coach in middle school whose remedy for everything (strawberries, bruises, broken bones ect...) was to spit tobacco juice on it.... didn't take much of that to stop players from whining about minor bumps and bruises!

For a bee sting, pour a little bit of gasoline on it. When your wisdom teeth are coming in, or if it's a really bad toothache, just get a some whiskey and swish it around in your mouth for a few seconds and spit it out, it takes away the pain.

Swallowing the whiskey works wonders as well . . .

And actually works better than spitting it out when you are trying to kill the pain of a Volunteer loss.

Err, um. . . .uh. . . . I mean, that's what I hear. Speaking of, who's got a great recipe for Lynchburg Lemonade?
