Country Medicine

When I was a kid, a horse fly landed on my leg. Dunno if you know what a horse fly is but their sting is like 1000 wasp stings.

I had a knife in my hand and I swatted at it. My knife cut me almost to the bone.

I was in a creek. This is where country medicine comes in. I grabbed mud from the bottom of the creek and packed the wound with it. Went about my day. I had a scar for a few years but the mud kept out infection and after a few years that deep cut scar disappeared.

Mud FTW
