I found the best way to remove it was to fillet two sides with a knife, peel off the skin, and then it easily came out

A small broken blister makes good excuse for the aloe poultice.

First, the spiky leaf edges were cut, then split by the gel.

Finally the knife was used as a razor to extract the gel.

I'm making burn poultices and freezing them to be ready when I need them. These are screenshots from a video I made. I added Aloe, comfrey, yarrow, and vitamin e oil to this poultice mix.

I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen grew and shared. It was the tastiest fruit I've ever had!

My sister has some sort of rash on her leg, so I tried some aloe on it.

My daughter asked for aloe to sooth a bug bite, and I used a little myself on a patch of contact dermatitis. I prefer to hold the leaf to my skin.
