GOTT:
Thank you for all of the help you have given me and my family through your medical column.

I have enclosed a clipping that I found in a magazine. It is a cheap, easy and effective home remedy for insect bites. My husband was recently stung by a wasp and we tried it with great success.

Simply rub the juicy (freshly cut) side of an onion onto the area and the itch is gone!

DEAR READER:
Thank you for this helpful hint. I note that the tip was from Andrea Candee taken from her book “Gentle Healing for Baby and Child”. She says that it must be a yellow onion and that it works become the onion contains over 100 sulfur compounds which have anti-inflammatory effects. You don’t say what magazine this came from, however.

I will be sure to try this myself the next time I am bitten or stung by an insect. I hope my readers find this useful and effective. Thanks for writing to share.

To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Dr. Gott’s Compelling Home Remedies”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
