As a Southern-raised country boy, I can confirm the correct remedies here! Bee sting? Make a paste of meat tenderizer and water and pack it on the site of the sting. Stepped on glass? Soak it in some Epsom salts. Acne? Cut back on the grease and leave it alone. Hiccups? BOO! Getting scared is the best surefire remedy! Teething baby? Yup, Jack on a finger.

[@melissawittman]

What's the best way to scare hiccups away: hearing a speech by Michael Robinson - er Michelle Obama, talking bad about the Crimson Tide, or mixing beans in your chili?

[@jenx5870]

Yes, but the RN in me now says no. The true treatment for a bee sting is: apply a cold compress, then you may apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion if you're not allergic. Cut on the foot: clean with soap and water, then apply triple antibiotic ointment if not allergic, and a bandaid. If the edges of the wound don't meet, or the wound is deep, you need stitches. Hiccups: plug your ears then take ten gulps of water without taking a breath, or distract yourself by attempting to get your pointer fingernails to meet perfectly for 30 seconds (or by doing something else).

Secure with safety pins Put on two pairs pajamas, go under two layers of quilts, sweat it out! 3. Got greasy hair? Or dandruff? Wash your hair, follow with a whiskey rinse. In a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of even a tablespoon of whiskey. 4. Go smelly feet? Soak them in a basin of warm water, with a tablespoon of whiskey. 5. Got a mosquito bite? Dab with a handkerchief with some whiskey. 6. Clothes smell like cigarettes or some place that had lingering odors? Fill a spray bottle with water with a tablespoon of whiskey. Spray on clothes til damp. Good for remove body odors too. 7. Got tooth pain? Make a clove spice tea, add some whiskey. Soak a handkerchief in it. Chew on that clove and whiskey handkerchief. 8. Almost out of your favorite cologne? Pour some whiskey in the bottle. Shake it up. It's a little weak, but it will do. Got any other household dilemma or ailments?

You can throw the weeds away.) It doesn't keep unless you freeze it, but you can freeze it in cubes and thaw it out a little at a time as you need it. It also works to kill fungus. If you're growing plants from seed, add it to your plant water and it will keep your plants from damping off. I never tried it on people fungus, but idk why it wouldn't work.

Spot on! I am an ER doc in Mississippi. But you forgot the power of the white handkerchief with the Vick’s!

For hiccups eat a teaspoon sugar. Put it all in your mouth at once. It does work.

I'm not only subscribed; I got "It's a Southern Thing" books for Christmas!!!

[@flamingpieherman9822]

I think I'd much rather use Dr. Granny! And just an FYI, I have bad hiccups that last for hours. I do drink water from the office inside of the glass and it cures them instantly... Just saying But I will tell you hiccups are a vitamin B deficiency that upsets the diaphragm muscle

My Texas grandfather chewed tobacco and I've gotten the 'spit on the wasp sting' treatment. It mostly made me decide to tough it out if I got stung again. He had a cough remedy that was a spoonful of sugar with a drop of kerosene (only a small drop, luckily). Not a medical remedy, but he kept a cloth bag of powdered sulfur on the porch. You were supposed to dust your shoes with it so you didn't get chiggers.

Oh you lucky dog! We got a spoonful of vicks or a shot glass of kerosene. Its a miracle I dont have a flammability rating on my forehead. Lol😅

"WebMD is gonna convince you that you're dying" - truer words have never been spoken.

Ok but now I need y’all to do a collab with Jenny Lorenzo’s Abuela character in which y’all disagree about everything except at the end, end up as BFFs because of Vicks 😂

[@keving8006]

I can't verify the efficacy of most of these cures, but the hiccup one absolutely works. Drinking from the opposite side of the glass while leaning over does indeed work. In fact, I've done it myself, and recommended it many times, and it's NEVER failed!

If you use the chewing tobacco, make sure to get loose leaf. Moisten it in your mouth or even just wet it, then take an individual leaf and use like a bandage. Unfortunately, like chewing it, using it as a bandage can cause cancer over time just takes longer. Maybe you'll beat it to the grave.
