Here's a quick "show-and-tell":
The plantain harvesters ran into a few obstacles. Mosquitos bite. Stinging nettles earn their name.
PLANTAIN TO THE RESCUE!!
Chew a bit of leaf...
then put the wad on the bite. Or sting, as the case may be.
That little chewed-up wad of plantain leaf is called a "fairy bandaid".
It's almost worth letting a skeeter bite you, just to see how fast and efficiently this plant does it's job!
Your new mission: Teach every child (of every age) how to recognize plantain, and how to make a "fairy bandaid" for stings, bug bites, and other small owies!
Not sure just what plantain looks like? Or where to find it? Check in tomorrow, for more plantain!
