Essential Addition to your First Aid Kit

I not only have them in the first aid kit, but in the backpack - more likely to get bitten by a snake in the bush when it is a long way back to the car. I get them from pharmacies or pharmacy section of chain stores. Most likely to get bitten on the leg, and one roll just won't be enough.

Welldone, can vouch for the honey.

Ants loved it too.....hehehe.

Speaking of ants, I once recall having a sore develop on my foot. Being a typical boofhead, did nothing about it, reckoned it would heal itself.
It eventually turned septic and layed me up for the day, just sat around the campsite. While reading, noticed ants herding around the sore. A bit tingly and the occassional nip but they cleaned the sore up in no time at all.

Just washed the wound, antiseptic cream, socks & boots and away I went.

These days I treat them like mates instead of pests.

Were they Meat Ants or Sugar Ants ?

Maggots will do a good job too.

Mh

Meat ants Mike, or so the missus reckoned.
Shes Ozzie born & bred so suppose she would know.

Cheers.....Lionel.

you would have known if they were meat ants. within seconds they would have swarmed all over you. by the time you realized you were under attack it would have been too late.

often you dont see there nest as they have no dirt around them and are just straight holes in the ground.

I killed a nest over the course of a few days just outside my fence. By poisoning the holes they were using - as each hole was poisoned they used a few more. i poisoned over 30 holes in the end.
Finally they started taking the eggs out and putting them in the shade on the surface and i finished them off with flyspray

- nothing against ants but having a meat ant supernest outside your gate is not on

Yep, they were meat ants, seemed to swarm the wound area.

One stray did get up my shorts, now thgat was more than a nip...lol.

Cheers....Lionel.

get outmore, you wouldnt be talking about Bull Ants would you.

Now thems nasty little bastards.
