Bug bites

by Julia
(East Aurora, NY)

I've been getting very bad bug bites, and I finally heard about this from a friend. It's free, but you have to have the right weed growing in your yard. It's an oval shaped leave with very noticeable veins. It grows in clumps of 2-4 leaves. Pick the leaves off and rip in to small pieces. Let dry on a plate (I let mine dry in the sun). When they're dry, they look slightly purple. I put them in a bag to store, and when my bites start itching, I put a little water to them. I make them into a paste, and dab it on my bite. It works wonders!
