Bleach is chlorine which can cause migraine headaches as it ties up O2. Been there after using it for several days in a row trying to get mold out of wood paneling in a bathroom. VERY severe migraine, kicking screaming variety. I had no idea I was sensitive but now I avoid all sources of chlorine, even filter my shower water when on city water.

The nerve gas in WWII was Chlorine, a neurotoxin. Best to stay away from bleach IMHO. There are alternatives that are not toxic.

Honey is indeed an ancient healing remedy. I generally reach for the aloe and DMSO but thanks for reminding me about honey. There are all kinds of great things in raw honey, hormones, minerals, etc.

Oh and I love Lavender. It is great for wasp and insect stings.

*****I guess I can believe this but it was the old bleach ..without perfumes..right? I have tried and tried but that no longer seems to be available...not in any store I have looked. One thing that I found helpful is honey.
For years I earned my living as a Housekeeper/Cook.
Lots of Burns come with that job:)...I must have just read about honey healing burns because when I touched the hot oven rack with the skin of my arm...it burned badly..and I automatically reached for the honey and poured it over my arm. At first I thought I had made a bad decision because the pain became worse..quite a bit worse. But in a minute it began to subside and cooled and I never scarred from a burn that really should have left a doozy.
Healed beautifully.   V.
