Seconded. I ran over a nest of those with a push mower when I was a teenager, and didn't notice the hole. I sure started to notice afterwards though, because I was wearing shorts. Lol
Took one to the side of the face when I was a kid. Looked like I got the shit kicked out of me by Mike Tyson for 3 days. For some reason mom would always cut an onion and put in on the sting. Never knew and still don’t know the reason.
Onion is apparently a natural anti inflammatory so that’s probably the reason she would put onion in it! I’ve been seeing a lot of parents use green onion for their babies when they’re teething for the same reason, keeps the swelling down.
