We stud ied about poison ivy, dog bites, snake bites, fainting and burns. For poison ivy, use yellow laun dry soap to rub on the parts that have been affected. For burns, use Epson salts or baking soda to make a solution. Apply sterile gauze soaked in this solution to the burn. For poisonous snake bite; make a crisscross cut (x) bites start treatment at once. Have th eperson lie down: tie a band age above the bite; make a criss cross cut (x) with a sterile knife at each fang mark; apply suction with the mouth or a pump: see a doctor at once. Remember — be safe, not sorry. —Joyce Lee Minor—5-B
