Planatain-Plantago lanceolata and major. Common Names English Plantain, Broad Leaf Plantain

Can also be used for Poison ivy/oak, kidneys, bladder, joint swelling, it's a nutritive and a laxative. Indians called it "White man's footsteps". The early Europeans planted it everywhere. I'm already off thread so I'll hush..,

I get stung on a routine basis. Burns and itches for a little while with little to no swelling. Yesterday got stung in the middle of index finger joint on top of hand. My hand and arm or swollen up to my elbow 24 hrs later but slightly improving.  Very curious why this sting did this, why the reaction this time and never before. Anyone else experienced this random reaction.

The next time you get stung in the same area, note what happens. You will probably see a drastic reduction. Not a doctor but I suspect the glands in this area of your body are still learning.
I have seen the same thing when I started beekeeping. One area reacts and another area doesn't.

I caught a swarm earlier in the spring. The bees are doing real good. Building up well and making beautiful comb. The bees are notably more testy than my other 7 hives. They bump alot more and sting quicker. They are not aggressive, just grumpier. It seems i get more swelling and longer lasting reactions from the stings this hive gives me. Has anyone ever noted different reactions from different hives? The queen is striped so some kind of mutt.

Some bee stings, even from the same hive, will have different reactions. Most of the time it depends on how long you leave the stinger in.

In 15 minutes I can't find my bee stings. That 15 minutes is painful with a small bump and it really does itch but it is less than a reaction I get to okra leaves

If you want to get rid of that 15 minutes of pain try crushing some plaintain leaves and rubbing the juice on the sting.  It stops the pain almost immediately.

Is their a way to preserve this plant to be used later when needed? For an example, if a person is doing a cutout can that person pick some of this and store it in some manner and take it with them when needed? Frozen? Dried and rehydrated perhaps? Maybe some other way? Mr Van? Someone else? Thanks Phillip Hall

cao will this also help with the swelling?

If you don't fertilize your lawn it is usually available during the summer.  I would think that any kind of process or preservation would reduce its effectiveness.  Although, maybe better than nothing.
