Quinn List Case #1
My patient, we'll call him accident prone Dominic, said he'd been bitten by a tiger mosquito a couple of hours before he messaged me. The bite wound was itchy, red and swollen, but with no risk of anything serious, like malaria. I told him to stop by.
First, he was already drinking pineapple juice at my recommendation, due for another injury, which is supposed to promote healing. Second, after watching the video at the top of this thread, I picked the milk remedy, and swabbed the bite before applying the calendula poultice I'd prepared, and told him to leave it on overnight.
I checked in with him the next day, and he said the itching was gone, although it was still red and swollen. He wasn't able to come round for further treatment, being out of town, but the whole thing healed ofer the next few days. He thought the swelling meant infection, but I suspected it was just his body's initial reaction to the bite, which seems to have been right.
The thing didn't clear up overnight, but he was happy with the treatment, since getting rid of the itching was a good thing in itself. The calendula probably also contributed to healing in other ways (apart from preventing irritation by scratching), but that was the most obvious.
So, one happy patient!
