They were by the sensory lighted night light.. It had been very rainy today.. the track toes and claws width part. were about three to four inches long. the first two claw were curled in toward each other.. the other paws were lines up pretty close to the tows with a clear impression. No it wasn't a dog... My dogs paws weren't far. My daughter found some interesting tracks tonight when we got home. They were by the sensory lighted night light..

]]> Comment on Mosquito Bite Prevention by Elle http://www.natureskills.com/outdoor-safety/mosquito-bite-prevention/#comment-2424 Elle Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:52:41 +0000 http://www.natureskills.com/?p=688#comment-2424 Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - HANDS DOWN!!! After years of (truly) suffering from my allergic reactions to mosquito bites, I was at my wits end. The intensity of the itching was unbearable. My body's reaction was so strong that I would swell like a balloon and scratch till I bled. I came across a some postings regarding Vitamin B1 aka Thiamine. The people that found significant relief were taking a MINIMUM of 400mg DAILY, as prescribed by a number of pharmacies in the mosquito infested tropics. Interestingly, the only people saying it didn't help were people taking much lower or smaller doses (100-200mg/day). It simply wasn't enough. I was ecstatic this past summer to find that it really does work!! Thank you God!!! I found the occasional small red spot, which I can only assume was a bite but with zero itch or swelling. In 40+ years it is the first time I have found relief. PS - Thiamine is water soluble (like vitamin c) and therefore is not harmful or worrisome in these amounts as the body simply flushes out, in your urine, any extra which it cannot use.

Wade Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:38:29 +0000 http://www.natureskills.com/?p=1575#comment-2304 Very interesting article. Do I just take the leaves off the maidenhair fern and steep them in water? What is the procedure to soak the leaves for an influsion? Do you soak them in water, how many leaves and how much water, and then what do you do? Can a maidenhair fern from a greenhouse be used? Thank you. Sincerely, Linda Very interesting article.
