At the Bloomingburg Community Day celebration, there was a group of Girl Scouts set up close to my table. I had an enjoyable time discussing recipes where I used Girl Scout cookies and told of activities I helped with when my sister-in-law was a Leader. The Leader asked if I would consider helping with their Troop.
Later, one of the girls suffered a bee sting. I had a cooler with Coke and ice. I said, "Here, pour the Coke on it; it's cold and will help the pain." The child was screaming in pain and the mother obviously did not care for my suggestion. I said, "Go to the store and get some baking soda and a bottle of water; that's what my mother always used." After mixing the baking soda in a capful of water and applying it, the child quit crying.
I suggested they should have a "badge" for testing home remedies and to start with the wonders of baking soda. I mentioned uses such as teeth whitening, refrigerator deodorant, heartburn relief, sunburn remedy, hand cleanser, and chafing relief..
On the internet, I found 60 USES!
