yeah the tobacco one i have heard but not tried, mud works, as does ammonia, Kelly that was a yellow jackets nest thats were they nest, and if you step on it, they come a runnin, i always watch where i walk, been bit too many times glad im not like sandy or our one son, thats got to be a bit scary,

hope the bites are feeling better, my grams use to make a aspirin paste and apply it afterward to help the swelling and pain or discomfort, sorry i ddint think of that last night
