When I tried to clean up the branches in the garden of my neighbor a few days ago that had fallen over the hedge trimming, I must have fallen into an insect nest. Alone on the right leg, I was stung 16 times / bitten (blackflies). Although I discussed the incredibly painful bites immediately with cortisone cream, they swelled to such an extreme that the leg from the knee to the ankle was getting fatter and everything a burgundy color accepted. Since then fever with chills (I ran at 32 degrees in the shade with a fleece jacket around) and nausea einstellten, I panicked. Permanent Cooling with Quark winding and cooling pads took anything, the leg swelled ever on ("elephant leg") and was very hot. When I tried the evening, take off my pants, I howled in pain. On the Internet I read a review that Heilerde would also help against aggressive blackflies. So I bought Bull Richs healing earth (in the supermarket but for only 3,99 EUR), kneaded the tube through, put the product for 10 minutes in the freezer and smeared my leg so thick a. After 40 minutes, I washed the dried paste then in the bathtub with cold water and was not initially excited because the stitches had now assumed an even darker color. I repeated the application again and a few hours later: a miracle! The chills and nausea were gone, the color of the leg grew brighter and the swelling was strong (!) Declined. The pain had been reduced to a tolerable level. I turn the paste now only 1x daily and the leg looks after three days of use (5 days old engravings) Although not yet perfect, since you can still see the halo around the puncture points clear, but the swelling is almost completely gone, and the pains have turned into a slight itching.
