They learned what are the four most powerful antidotes for insect
bites and stings:
- Charcoal - this one can stop 29 out of 30 most common poisons!
- Garlic- the most powerful antidote against viral, bacterial, or fungal infections!
- Vitamin C - helps your white blood cells fight against all kinds of toxic substances!
- Plantain - chew the leaves and apply the pulp to the affected skin area, great against insect bites/stings
They watched a video on how to make cheese, we plan on trying this in the future!
They also watched a short video/cartoon on Louis Pasteur as an introduction
