I've never liked the taste of honey. I haven't had any, since I was a child. Just plain raw honey. Cary loves it, so I keep a good stock for him. Well, last night I added honey to my drink, thinking it would be better than sugar. Overnight, I woke myself up scratching all over. When I got up this morning, I was covered in a rash. Very red and itchy. It also felt like I was having someone squeeze the air out of my lungs. I realized I was having an allergic reaction to something. The first thing that popped in my head was the honey. I took Benadryl, and the symptoms are gone for now. I happened to think, since I'm deathly allergic to honeybee stings, I was probably allergic to honey as well. No more honey for me!
I just finished doing a little search on the net about the connection, and Yes, those with honeybee allergies have a high probability of having a honey allergy as well. Duh. Now I know.

Do you carry a epi pen? You may want to call your Dr tomorrow and ask for a prescription for one. Also, I carry children's liquid benadryl. The liquid gets in your system faster. Allergic reactions are very scary to deal with.

I usually do. I let it expire and the prescription that goes with it. I do need to get resupplied, since bee season is close at hand. Even with insurance, those pens are still quite expensive. That's why I've been letting a new RX slide. I'm very well stocked with Benadryl, although, that isn't strong enough for me in certain cases. This time, it was, but I had to have 2 doses. Time will tell if I need another one.

Add 40 mg of otc Pepcid. It is a potent antihistamine

I did not know that! Thanks. Can I take that along with Benadryl?
We are beginning some spring planting. Peas and potatoes. Blackberries and raspberry plants are here. Hope to get them planted by Tuesday. Barn will be reorganized starting the end of the week. Hubby found some sort of fence staple that doesn’t have to be hammered in. You use a drill. Pricey but way cheaper than paying someone to do the job! Hope everyone has a productive week and lots of energy!!
Yes. It is part of the ER protocol for allergic reactions. Of course in ER it is given IV but same concept. In ER Benadryl Pepcid and steroid are given IV.

You must be a bit farther south than we are. My first spring plantings won't be, until the last of the month with lettuce, mustard, and green beans. I like to grow the green beans early, and once I have enough of those, I pull them and plant purple hull peas in their place. As you know, purple hull peas need lots of heat.

I assume that you know about tobacco and stings....I don't smoke or chew but I always have tobacco around....if you are stung..make a poltuce of tobacco (wet the tobacco) and put on the sting...it will draw the venom out....many people who worked the fields chewed tobacco and would slap their chaw on a sting....I have heard from those who worked the tobacco fields in NC and have seen..(I have not seen with my own eyes) that a green tobacco leaf wrapped around your finger will draw blood through the skin. Tobacco has incredible drawing power.
I have used tobacco to draw the poison from one of my husband's cousins who having a bad reaction to a sting...she was fine in a couple of minutes...but we had the tobacco on the sting very quickly
One of the problems with epi pens is they need to be kept cold.... sometimes not possible...think power failure....
I have also used tobacco to draw the red blood poison lines going up the leg from a very infected cut on a guy's leg out .(nasty cut from an anchor in the river several days before)....it took a couple of heated poltuces to draw out all the infection from his leg....you could watch the red lines retreating from his leg.. after the infection was drawn out he healed fine...he would not seek medical help...or go to the emergency room.
if you use a poultice to draw infection it is best to burn it as it becomes a source of the infection and burning it will destroy the infection...
This some very old medicine....but it things get too bad might be important to know. I do not know but in a pinch if nothing else was available I would try to draw snake venom with tobacco..

We still have ice melting this morning, apparently the gutters must have full. I thought it all had melted yesterday.
It should be a fairly quiet day here, son in law has picked up a certain virus so they won’t be coming over today. It will just be the two of us and oldest daughter. I hope no one else gets it! After DD leaves, I‘ll probably get a head start on Monday laundry day and would probably be a great time to finish the deep clean of the laundry room. I had several kitchen appliances in there and I hated it since it gets really dusty in there, so with the overhaul of the pantry I now have them in there where they are easier for me to bring to the kitchen as needed. A few things from that shelving unit will be donated, and that shelving unit will go downstairs and out of my way. It should definitely make it easier to clean and move around in there.
Ugh, I need to make an appt. with my Dr. since I’m a few months behind on my checkup and bloodwork. There has been so much flu, strep, etc. I didn’t want to expose myself to. But I can’t keep putting it off.
I’m not sure on what days we will have granddaughter this week and that will make a difference on what I can do this week. I really want to get done with a few smaller projects that’s part of the bigger project which is the pantries overhaul so I can move on and get some meat canning done to put on the shelves.
And about 3 hrs later I realize I forgot to hit the post reply button LOL! Oh well, DD just left after a nice lunch of grilled pork chops, mashed potatoes and homegrown green beans and corn.

Yeah, I've heard about using tobacco spit on bee stings. We don't smoke or chew, but I do have some drawing salve and a bee sting/snake bite kit. When I get stung by either a honeybee or yellow jacket, the reaction is almost immediate. I'd rather have something on hand that will keep me from going into anaphylactic shock right then. BTDT from a yellow jacket sting. Cary called ahead to the ER, and they were waiting and prepared for me when I arrived. I still almost didn't make it.

My oldest DD and I have to be careful with wasp stings and both of us are supposed to have an epi pen with us. I too have let mine lapse, I’ll try and use your experience as a reminder to talk to my Dr. I always keep Benadryl in pill and liquid form on hand just in case.

My plans for the week include going grocery shopping at Food Giant, tomorrow, and restocking the wine cabinet at the wine shop. Just replacing what we've used, more or less. I also need to pick up a few pieces of laundry from the dry cleaners. A stop in at Walmart for dog treats and other items I can't get at Food Giant. Will stop in at the bank, first. I think that about covers our venture into small town, tomorrow.
One day this week, we're going to visit Cary's new found 3rd cousin. He's invited us both. Cary has already been to visit but wants me to go this time to see his home. Cary says that I will love it. It's old and rustic, too. It's not really old, just is made to look like it is and very rustic just like ours. He loved ours when he came for a visit, too.
I want to do more deeper type cleaning this week. Especially in the laundry room, cabinets, and my closet. The next week of the 15th, I have my first dental appointment of the year to begin getting my teeth taken out. It's not something I look forward too, but I want to get all my cleaning done, before he gets started. It will be dental work every 3 weeks to a month, maybe longer depending on how well I do, for the duration. It takes that long for my mouth to heal, before he can move on to the next round. I know I'm going to be out of commission a lot, until this is all done.

My doctor told me to run as if it were a rattlesnake if I ever see a honeybee or a yellow jacket. He was the one who treated me in the ER. I'll get a new script filled soon, too. I have an appointment coming up. Having this reaction was a wake up call for me, too.
Sherree We are a bit south of Birmingham. I have cabbage and onions in the ground and we planted 400 ft of English peas and sugar snaps today after church. Potatoes went in Saturday but we have more to plant. Trying to do several plantings 2 weeks apart. This is a favorite time of the year for me!
SouthernBreeze
Has No Life - Lives on TB
Not too far south of us. I went out today to see how my walking onions are doing. They look good, and I noticed my chives are putting back out in abundance. I've got my mustard and lettuce seed ready to go. It's too wet to do anything outside even if I wanted to. We don't eat cabbage enough to warrant planting any. Cary doesn't even like kraut too much and won't eat slaw at all. We have grown it in the past, though. Mostly we gave it away.
Glad your reaction wasn't more severe, Sherree!! And that was some smart thinking on your part of what might have caused the rash and breathing issues; and taking the Benadryl!
The temps are supposed to get up in to the low 50's for a bit this afternoon, they'll drop back in to the low 20's overnight, but temps should be back up in the low 40's by mid-day tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather, and to being able to get outside to get some things done over the next couple of days . Today and tomorrow are the only days in the forecast that are supposed to be rain and snow free, so I want to take advantage of being outside. The cousins are down to look for deer sheds, and to do a bit of a buff and fluff on the hunting cabin, so youngest grandson and I hopped on the buggy and went down to visit with them for a while; it was an enjoyable visit.
Daughter told the boys to have us help with their Valentine boxes - she is knee deep in tax stuff so probably needs the peace and quiet
so I guess I can't complain too much - although I do remember Pop and I using the air compressor to fill what seemed to be a zillion ballons, filling his large van and the topper of my truck full of trash bags of blown up balloons which were dumped on the floor of the small gym for a Valentine's Day party/dance when daughter was in Jr High. Younger grandson is still in middle school - in his grade the kids walk around and give candy to each person. Middle grandson is in Jr High; they each have a station and hand out candy to the other kids who are walking by.
So middle grandson wants to make a sort of 'fishing' type thing - this will apparently have a box with a clear front, a magnet stuck to each piece of candy, and a larger magnet on a small toy fishing pole that drops down into the box to 'catch' a piece of candy. His class has a young lady with gluten and tree nut allergies, so I have been looking up gluten and tree nut free treats - so far all I've found is fruit roll ups; but I will keep looking.
Younger grandson wants to do an under the ocean 'treasure chest' theme with a open bottom treasure chest to sit on top of a box for the kids to put candy in - I'm thinking a trip to Dollar Tree or the Evil Empire is on the to-do list. Papaw and I are just glad that we've got over a week to figure this all out So today will be shopping for supplies and painting the boxes; then the boys and I will finish preparing the boxes during the week. I'm missing the good old days - we just cut a slot in the top of a shoe box, slapped a few construction paper hearts on it and called it good; then our classmates dropped the store bought Valentines in the box. Daughter's classes were much the same, except for one year that required cutting some paper plates in half, punching holes around the edges of the bottom half, and weaving ribbon through the holes to make a pouch to put the Valentines in (if that description made any sense at all )
I am still working on all of the pantries - Since I now have no limits on how I spend my time, I'm about ready to just to box up everything, give my big 4' deep, 6' long, 6'tall shelves to Hubby to use in the shed, and take all my bags of books off the assorted plastic shelves I have here and there, then figure out which one room of the house I want to use for a pantry. I have a 12'x14' room down basement that daughter claimed as her room as a teen, plus a 20'x12' room that is currently a 'catch-all'. I'm thinking I should probably empty the catch-all room and use it in case I need that other bedroom for the grandsons or someone else in the future.
Whoops - got busy outside with the grands and forgot to hit post; and now it's time to take them home.
Have a great week, all!

Any tobacco will work....

Black tea will work as well. The tannins in it will bring down the reaction. But you have to keep it on the spot. For me, that is 48 to 72 hours.
Dad and I are allergic. Both of us to bees, and I have a bad reaction to any wasps as well. When they were available, we found that the dissolve strips did wonders. I don't know why they stopped selling them and the fast melt tablets but they did.
I now keep liquid capsules so that, if needed, I can bite down on them and accelerate the body absorbing it. They also sell individual childsize doses. You could stash several in a purse or bag if you chose. Dad is absolutely terrified of needles so those are his only options short of an ER visit.
I have learned my error in not keeping arnica pellets on hand. I don't use them often but when I need them, I need them. I'm going to be looking for the low mountain arnica to grow for the future. But I got a triple pack of the 30x pellets. And I likely order at least another triple pack for the med cabinet. I really need to research making med pellets.

I usually keep a pack of unfiltered Camels... just easier to get the tobacco out. In a hurry.

Church was good, the pastor was on fire this morning, didn't need a microphone. Reminded me of times long ago. The difference is this good man uses scriptures to back up his topic and not a canned sermon.
The church is having a movie night tonight, but we are not going. I simply cannot sit in a folding chair for very long, my back starts screaming at me.
We also came home for lunch, we put a spiral ham in the crockpot yesterday. The crock was still warm when I put it in the fridg, but I always wrap it in a towel when I do that.
There are a couple of ladies at church that are now buying our eggs. They always tell us how much they appreciate them. DH charges $2 a doz.
I am starting to designate Mondays to do laundry. Washing is not the issue, but folding and putting away is a difficult chore, as I wear out easily. I'm going to soldier on with it though. Now that I'm doing laundry more often, the loads are not very large.

Made it to church today, was glad I was able to go-- been down the chemo hole last couple of weeks.
No prepping going on, but having to rethink diet/cooking.
Husband had a bobble with his blood pressure, and we're having to cook with no salt. No salted butter, no baking powder, nothing. He can handle 50-100 mg, but that's it.
The average egg contains 60mg, so it's been hard on him.
Lots of other spices being used, and thank goodness we've always canned without salt.

To those of you are very allergic to stings....there are a few things I have learned about epi pens.....
Some years back...I had a wonderful dentist who has now retired.... He was a dental anesthesiologist...a dental surgeon...and had hospital... privileges...and held a number of dental fellowships....he is was way too smart for one human being
Since we live far out the country he prescribed epi pens for us...just in case.. dh and I have never had a bad reaction..
At that time he educated us about epi pens...they must be kept refrigerated at all times..and be in date
.he told us a story about one of his patients who was extremely allergic to many things....one day she came rushing in the office and into the restroom....she came out with four epi pens stuck into leg ...gasping for breath...they didn't work...he quickly filled a syringe and administered the shot saving her life......he explained that all of her pens were well with in date and she kept them in a cold pack.... He told us that sometimes they failed and to get moving if we ever had to use one...
I am not telling you this to scare you ....to let you know about need to keep them cold and in date....it is critical with epi
I later had a girl friend who carried one in her purse...not cold...and had no idea about the need to keep them cold ...she now has a cold case in her purse..
I was not suggesting that anyone not use epi pens...or emergency services....
The point I was making is that tobacco can draw the venom out very rapidly...it took about 2 minutes when my husband's cousin was stung....we were way out in the country....I used the tobacco from one cigarette ran into the kitchen got the tobacco wet and slapped all of it on the sting...
What would you try if there were no more epi pens or emergency services available...drawing salve can take a long time...
Medical services are being degraded in this country and rx meds are not as available as they once were. I pray will never have this happen..but old ways might save a life.
My mother was extremely allergic...and my father was as not...until he was...stung by a bald faced hornet and his whole body began to swell....the point being it can happen to anyone.at anytime..
Ammonia will also neutralize insect bites and stings...
Just regular grocery store ammonia...I keep a bottle under the kitchen sink

Morning all. I have missed catching up with everyone this past week+. The back to work after surgery has been quite draining.
Slow and steady continues here for me. Work. Creating and sticking to my budget. Meal planning. etc A bit of decluttering (but need to do even more!)
Hubby is in the middle of building a greenhouse, and I am thankful for that.

Its sun shiny and warm today, 75. I call it saving on my electric bill. Its so warm here at my desk that I have my little fan on.
I was working in the kitchen last night, made good strides. Although I can only work for a few minutes at a time because my back pain kicks in. But after I rest for a few minutes I can go back at it. I got back at it this morning soon after I got up.
There was a time we were getting 4 or more two pound packages of beans. For awhile I was putting them in buckets in their original packages and putting a lid on. These buckets have been in the second bathroom which is somewhat climate controlled. I'm considering just moving the buckets to the cabin and someone after us can deal with them, they are probably too hard now to soften easily. I'm on a quest to get all the food storage out of that bathroom. One big thing in there is I was saving bottles to store water in and the shower is full of them. If I don't decide what to do with them DH will burn them. There are gallon bottles and some juice size, I may put the gallon size in the burn barrel and fill the juice bottles with water to put in the bottom of our freezers. I just can't think where I have the room to store the gallon bottles with water in them. The gallon bottles are nice though, not like water or milk bottles. Sometimes I hate making decisions, particularly on food storage things.
One thing that just crossed my mind is to put the gallon jugs in big bags and put them in the bathroom tub of my camper. We never ever use it any more. I haven't even opened the door to it in months. One reason is because of the problems I've had with my knee, but for the most part that is better.
Its getting harder and harder to get out of the bath tub and the shower in the second bathroom would be helpfull less the bottles in there.
Its sun shiny and warm today, 75. I call it saving on my electric bill. Its so warm here at my desk that I have my little fan on.
I was working in the kitchen last night, made good strides. Although I can only work for a few minutes at a time because my back pain kicks in. But after I rest for a few minutes I can go back at it. I got back at it this morning soon after I got up.
There was a time we were getting 4 or more two pound packages of beans. For awhile I was putting them in buckets in their original packages and putting a lid on. These buckets have been in the second bathroom which is somewhat climate controlled. I'm considering just moving the buckets to the cabin and someone after us can deal with them, they are probably too hard now to soften easily. I'm on a quest to get all the food storage out of that bathroom. One big thing in there is I was saving bottles to store water in and the shower is full of them. If I don't decide what to do with them DH will burn them. There are gallon bottles and some juice size, I may put the gallon size in the burn barrel and fill the juice bottles with water to put in the bottom of our freezers. I just can't think where I have the room to store the gallon bottles with water in them. The gallon bottles are nice though, not like water or milk bottles. Sometimes I hate making decisions, particularly on food storage things.
