Have just discovered a great remedy for bull ant bites which can be excruciating from the moment you get bitten/stung. It wont stop the swelling but really stops the pain!!
WD 40 sprayed on the area more or less straight away really helps.
Thought I would share this revelation...

Will try it next time I get bitten by one of the little brutes.

Just wondering, how on earth did you discover this?:laughing:

sheer desperation....
Someone once recommended Diesel but I though Wd40 would be a much more skin friendly alternative

Spit works wonders as well

We have used wet tabacco, that works, my son was bitten and it fixed him straight away. Also bracken fern, the new shoots on that work. I have heard of wd40 being used before, was wondering if it worked.
