I put this in the biting stinging critter section but want to make sure everyone sees this.

I can not stress enough how wonderful Absorbine Jr. is for scorpion, spider, ant, bee etc etc stings. I live in Texas, we have skeeters, wood bees (nasty mean hateful SOB's), yellow jackets, honey bees and all kind of bitey stingy things. As soon as you are stung dab Absorbine Jr on the sting and repeat in 5 min. or so. Within 20-45 min you will have a hard time finding where the sting was and by the next day all signs of it will be gone. I ride a motorcycle and ALWAY have a small bottle in my bike.

Interesting. It's often used for horses here.

thanks for sharing Nancy.... this seems like it will be a banner year for skeeters here in Santa Barbara. I think I'll have a chance to try it out.

Please do not use if you are breast feeding or pregnant... If you plan on becoming pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Absorbine Jr.

I'm not a Doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
