After ten years of adjusting, I only worry when I get a bite. I wonder if the poison will ever leave me, I endured two series of anti-venom when it was first recognized along with clay packs and anything that would sooth the burning and my inability to digest my food properly at that time. This is the worst I've been since that time. Catnip would be interesting to try if I weren't allergic to mint! i have some other ideas that stem from that suggestion though.

It was one clap of thunder and then it rained for a while... is due to become snow later on.

Thanks for the suggestion, it gave me some new ideas... I use herbs for lots of maladies since I'm so far from medical facilities.

Take care too!
