anybody remember hearing about tried and true home remedies your mothers and grandparents used to use BACK IN THE DAY, when that's all they had and people did not go to doctors?  Things like which spider web to pack in a wound or using an onion to "draw" a wasp sting or meat tenderizer on jelly fish stings.  Just curious, I bet there are a lot of them.
