RAW ONION

Can be used both internally and externally.

It is a duel inhibitor of the inflammation process and is very effective in decreasing the irritation caused by itching particularly due to bites and stings.

Apply a slice or some pulped raw onion to the area of irritation and be amazed by the results.

Try it on your self for midge bites. Onion also deters these flying biting critters.

Some people are not too keen on the smell, but personally I’d rather not have the bites.
