Just add slake lime, then cook for a long as possible

The Cynic in me

... says that the string of employees who've taken time off for an Insect Bite should be set to work dredging swamps or cleaning the bogs of the only pub in White Cliffs, so they can learn what a real bite feels like.

The wuss in me says OW it hurts. Something bit me last night and one of my fingers is both intensely itchy and (more locally) intensely painful.

BUT, I've lived in the tropics ... braving lethal salt water crocodiles, land snakes, jelly fish, stone fish, sea snakes. Then I moved to Melbourne and learned to avoid the red back spider and the blue ringed octopus.

So I'm allowed to be a wuss. OK
