Copperhead Bite
This past summer I was wheel barrowing fill dirt and freshly cut brush along my back fence. I am 67 but work hard and ignore little pains to get the job done. As I pushed my full wheelbarrow what I thought was the painful "snap" of a limb striking my ankle turned out to be something else. I kept working and eventually took a look at a terrible itch thinking it was a chiggar bite. The spot looked like I had two big chiggars, so I put some Oreganol oil on it to stop the itching. Oreganol quickly kills my chiggar bites and dislodges the critters. The next morning I examined the bite and saw two deep and open punctures with necrosis around each hole and completely between the two holes. I rubbed it a bit and lots of clear yellowish liquid poured out and the pain got better. It was then I realized I had been bitten by a copperhead snake common to our area. I reapplied some more Oreganol three times a day and in two days, the necrosis fell off exposing slightly sunken pink flesh. The bite area is fine but somewhat sunken around the two puncture wounds. I am sure that had I taken conventional medical treatment it would have left big scars and tissue damage. I am convinced that Oreganol is a great first aid, especially for snakebites and it seems to neutralize the poisen and promote quick healing. Bill Bronson
Copperhead bite .WOW!
WOW, Bill! That is a wonderful testimony to the miraculous healings you can have with Oreganol. We live in an area with copperheads and rattlers, and I will definitely keep the Oreganol with the activated charcoal capsules, and turn to both if we ever have such a harrowing experience. It would more than likely work for a Brown Recluse Spider bite, too, and my daughter found out the hard way what an aggressive venom those nasty spiders spew. She was bitten on the ankle, and as with most spider bites, she did not feel anything until the venom started to eat away the flesh surrounding the two puncture wounds. I immediately put some stabilized oxygen drops on the bite and then opened an activated charcoal capsule and packed the bite with it and covered it with a bandage. I also gave her the stabilized oxygen drops in water and made her take two charcoal capsules. When I called the ER and spoke with a nurse, I was told not to worry and to bring her in only if the necrotizing worsened...yeah, right... We took her to the ER the next morning because her whole leg was sore, and it was painful to put weight on it. I gave her more oxygen and charcoal before we left. The doctor asked us what we used, and he had to say that it was a very effective remedy that had stopped the venom from causing any further damage. (She doesn't even have a scar!) He just put a new bandage on her and sent her off to school with a crutch. Now I have a new remedy for poisonous bites, thanks to you, Bill. I cannot remember the brand name of the stabilized oxygen, and we're out of it, so Oreganol to the rescue! Molly in Texas ReplyToMsg Color Legend:
