Salt tip 4
Salt has many uses around the yard. You can put salt on the
plants that grow between the patio bricks or cracks in your sidewalk and it
will kill the plants and prevent more from growing. It is also a good nontoxic
herbicide to kill poison ivy. Mix 3 lbs. of salt with 1 gallon of soapy water and
apply to the leaves and stem with a sprayer. This mix will kill most any plant
you do not want.
Salt can also alleviate the pain and swelling of a beestings.
If you wet the area immediately and cover with salt, the salt pulls the venom
out and relieves the pain.
Soaking mosquito and chigger bites with salt water is also supposed
to alleviate the itching and irritation.
If you shake salt directly onto a leech that has attached
itself to you, it will cause the leach to shrivel up and fall off. It may take
a few minutes.
