Most interesting! I often think that we have everything we need, right her on planet earth, to use as remedies, treatments, and preventative agents, it's just a matter of uncovering them.

Hmmmm..........I replied to this yesterday and it isn't here now.
Anyhow......I said that I could believe that bean leaves would work, since they seem to stick to my clothing like velcro, when I'm out picking the beans.

We used rubbing alcohol, diatomaceous earth, and hot water wash to get rid of ours a couple of years ago. It was a horrible thing. Most herbal remedies and even insecticides do not work against them. The bean leaves look terrific! Get those lil buggers!
