Everything from a mosquito to a spider can cause serious reactions in the body. The problem is not the injury but what the insect leaves behind (the venom). This is a defense mechanism that is used when for example a beehive detects danger. When someone is stung by an insect, the area becomes swollen, red, extremely painful or burning, however if the symptoms are, hard to breath, hard to swallow, disorientation, swelling of eyes and mouth and in some cases unconsciousness or death.
Nature gives us hundreds of insects that can bite or sting, but it also provides us with an array of herbs that can reduce the itching and swelling, we are even going to show you how to make your natural repellent as well. While we do not have any studies to show if herbal repellents are better then commercial counter parts they certainly smell better, and we don’t think you would want to rub toxic chemicals on your body. If insect bites are an ongoing problem, talk to a pest control expert on the best solution for your lifestyle. The earth is in the balance, mother nature produces everything we need, is up to us to prepare and use what is given to treat insect bites with home remedies.
