Beachside Quilter Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Dave & Jane, I was thinking itching is a good sign! Am keeping up with the benedryl to help! Shana, will be thinking of you at 5! That's when the shop closes up and happy hour begins at my house! Linda, margaritas can cure just about anything IMO!

smd719 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi Vickie: OK...this is gonna sound silly, but I've never actually MADE a margarita...just drink them in restaurants! What's your recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltnutt Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I feel your pain. As a fellow Floridian I keep DEAD SEA SALTS on hand. Walmart and Publix has them also some health food stores. In the hottest water you can stand pour in 1/2 cup in a glass bowl. Soak you hnd for 20-30 mins. Rinse and do this once a day. The swelling will go down and the pain disappears. The salts have to be Dead Sea Salts..bath salts will not work. The minerals in the salts draw out the poisons and swellings. I use this all all insect bites,rashes, swelling of body parts, sunburns,on this let the water cool and put the cool rags on burn or if the entire body is burnt,take a cool bath with 2 cups salt. I know it sounds crazy but it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks, Pat. I will have to try that. Been quilting all day and the swelling has returned a bit. Will apply ice the rest of the night. I don't have any Dead Sea Salts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi Vickie, Glad your hand is less swelled up now, and you have been able to use it again. It certainly was very painful looking. Hope it is back to normal soon. Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
