Well, always keep a small tube of super glue in your medical kit. You can use it for stitches.
If you dont have that, then a really thin needle and thread works too. You can practice suturing by using those pickled pig feet you can find at your
local supermarket.
I feel that medical equipment is often overlooked in a SHTF scenario. There is a weed that grows in urban areas that supposedly helps clot blood.
You can also use a green tea bag to clot blood too.
And is it true that if you get bitten, you can suck the venom out of your body?
You can use tobacco and mud to get out a bee stinger. Chew up some cigarette tobacco, and apply to the sting, rub it around. Then get some mud,
(preferably colder mud), And rub it on the sting too. Then it should reduce the swelling and the stinger will be sticking out. easy pickins!
