To kill the pain of a bee or wasp sting, put a poultice of "used" chewing tobacco on the site.

To keep mosquitos and chiggers off, drink a quart of sulfur water daily. You'll smell like a dog fart but the bugs will avoid you. You can also sprinkle your body liberally with flowers of sulfur. But the water is better.

If your yard has fleas, plant a chinaberry tree. Pennyroyal is also good, both inside and out.
