Flour would be cooler than your body temp. That's why it feels better, just like cool water would.

But PLEASE never throw it on a fire. Flour dust WILL explode.

Love home remedies. For beestings my mom used to mix somthing like baking soda and Lemon? then put it on the sting. Worked wonders. wish i knew what that little concoction was, could use it on my kids.

When we were kids , we would mix baking soda and ammonia and make a paste to put on bee stings. Another thing that works is mud.

Hmm, Ammonia. I would have never guessed that. Maybe that is why I remember the lemon scent because of the cleaner. I don't have any ammonia. Ill need to buy a small bottle. Thank you!

I keep an aloe vera plant handy. Slice open and use the gel.

Huh. Never heard of this, but I always keep some flour in the freezer to use in making pie crust, since EVERYTHING has to be super cold in making pie crust.
