Tick Bites
Ticks are small spider like animals that bite animals and suck their blood. A tick should be removed immediately upon finding one so as to reduce infection chances. One should was a tick bite with a poultice made of Yarrow or Echinacea after removing the ticks. When removing ticks be sure to remove the head, as to avoid infection.



Snake Bites(Rattlesnake)
A snake will normally bite you if you enter its territory or mess with it. If a snake bites you try to identify the snake, if it is a rattlesnake, try to find Echinacea or Black Eyed Susan, as poultices made of the roots of those flowers will help clean out and extract the venom.




Flea Bites
A flea bite will be small, red, in small clusters, in small groups in a straight line, have a red "halo" around the center of the bite, and are very itchy. They will fade on their own time, but using flowers with antihistamines in them will help with itching. You should watch for infection, if a infection starts to appear, use Echinacea, Black Eyed Susan, or another antioxidant containing flower,, use a poultice on the infected areas to draw it out.
