Evening John,

>> I remembered my grandmother's onion cure, and placed a mashed onion on his leg, bound it up,

I wondered if you did the whole leg or only the effected part? Likely a small area like I did.

I fixed one of these about midnight. Left it on until 9 am. Noticed a definite improvement.

I soaked the calf muscle with warm water and CS for a time, then fixed another onion poultice and applied it
about 10 am.   Left it on until 3 PM.

Now, 6 hours later. the tension in the calf muscle is only 10 to 15 % of what it was yesterday.

The main bad area looks much better. It is draining, the overall redness area is reduced.

Until today I was getting pus drainage, Today I am getting some bright red blood out when I work the calf muscle.

I have in fact worked the calf muscle off and on all day. Walking creates no pain.

Even though this is day 9 of the bite, it is actually only day 3 of treatments.

Last Thurs and Friday, I did very little in the way of treatment., actually worked some and had no problems with the leg.

Again thanks a million for the reports on the magic Onion !
