Anesthetic Gel Uses
I am forever getting ant bites. On two acres, it would be difficult and costly to kill all the ants. I have found Amdro works great for the ant piles.
I was lying in bed the other night and I had one ant bite on my thumb knuckle that was hurting/stinging. I wasn’t even sure it was an ant bite but it was bothering me so much, I couldn’t fall asleep.
I went to the medicine cabinet and saw some pain relief, anesthetic gel and I figured if it can numb a tooth ache, it was worth a try. I applied a small film on the knuckle and it only took a few minutes and it felt better. I don’t know if it actually numbs it, but I did fall asleep right away.
Now I am not a doctor and I am not recommending doing this for everything but it did work for me. There was no open wound. And if you can put it in your mouth, it seemed safe enough. I guess when you are desperate, you seek out unconventional ways to relieve your pain. I just try to be resourceful of the things I have in my house.
