It uses charcoal to \u201cdraw out\u201d the poison. I kept it in the refrigerator and used it all last year. I finally threw it away a few weeks ago. And wouldn\u2019t you know it, I got a half dozen bites just last week and have suffered this whole time. Ugh. My granddaughter who is staying with us got a huge bite yesterday and I decided it was time to make more.<\/p>\n<p>Bite Remedy:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3k2fvbp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Psyllium Husk Powder<\/a>\u00a01 part psyllium, 3 parts charcoal, and just enough water to make a soft jelly. Roll it out or press it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Keep it in the fridge. When you need some, just cut off a little square with the scissors, and cover it with a bandaid. The charcoal draws out the poison, the coolness calms the itch.<\/p>\n<p>* As you rotate your food, eventually you will probably have to throw something away. It\u2019s okay. Think of it as insurance. You \u201cre-buy\u201d insurance every month even though you don\u2019t get to use it. So, you throw something away. Buy more and try to get it rotated this time.<\/p>\n<p>Along those lines, I found this great article about what to do with rancid oil. I\u2019ve copied the text and have included it below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LONG TERM FOCUS: Onions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just don\u2019t buy fresh onions anymore. I exclusively use dehydrated onions. You can buy dehydrated onions at the grocery store and try them out. This jar has onions I purchased from the Church of Jesus Christ store.
