Yesterday my finger swelled up to twice its normal size due to a wasp bite. From personal experience I knew that on day two my body would react to the stinger venom with what is known as a 'large local reaction', where the sting site becomes very swollen, itchy, red, painful and hot to the touch. The last time it took two weeks for the symptoms to go away!
So when I developed the symptoms on my middle finger I was worried. Based on information on onions and their healing properties that my mom had shared with me I decided to wrap my finger with a layer of raw onion for a couple of hours in hopes that the onion would draw out the venom (or do something...anything...).
In less than 12 hrs all redness, pain and itching was completely gone. After only 24 hrs the swelling is almost completely gone too (90%). I am thrilled with the results! Nature is amazing!!!
