Since the bites woke me up at 3am I decided to test some out and see which worked. I applied a chewed poultice of
common mallow (from my garden) to the bites on one side of my body and a poultice of
yellow dock leaves (from my garden) to the other side of my body. Fortunately for you I have plenty of bites to test on. It seems that both plants worked as described. The itching has receded and I'll be going back to bed now. I'm glad I have the plants in my back yard but a bit sad I did not bring home any of the common plantain that was so readily available around me on the trip to the Uintas.
