Some home remedies for ailments and tips in the southern outdoors :

Best 2 tips -

If you get in any bullnettle ( a green, ankle to calf high weed with spines on its talk and a white flower ) the best remedy is urine, no lie it will stop the itching immediately. You will get a raised welp almost instantly but pee will fix you up.

Always have some chewing tobacco with you to put on insect bites ( especially fire ants ) or poison ivy. Being from up north you really need to watch for the fire ants they are bad news, especially if you are allergic to insect stings.

the rest -

Eat garlic to discourage mosquitoes and avoid cologne, Make sure and have some spray with deet.

Bees are attracted to sugary drinks.

Wolf spiders are your friend.

If walking around a swampy area and you smell a nasty, musky smell it is usually a water mocassin, they stink.

Red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black venom lack when looking at a coral snake or milk snake.

Take ticks off with clear finger nail polish. paint them thoroughly, wait, and pull out.

Black widows and brown recluses like dark, damp areas ( bascially everywhere not in direct sunlight down there ), the recluse is a bad dude and aggressive.

Drink lots of water the high humidity will fool you and you actually sweat more.

"O'r thar" , "up thar" and "dun 'er" are all basically the same, just look where they point when talking.
