I had the awful experience of hitting a deer at 55 MPH while returning from NYC two days ago. I was not hurt, but my car was badly damaged and the poor deer had to be put down.
My first thought, after surveying the damage to my car and asking a passerby to call the police, was to take Aconite. All I had was a 30c, which did nothing. But it did nothing because it wasn't really homeopathic to the situation: I was not freaking out. The experience was frightening, but I tend to be calm and collected under even extreme stress.
Still, I knew my brain wasn't working properly and I felt a little shocky, so I took Arnica 200c, which worked like a charm. No injuries or contusions to indicate Arnica, just that slight feeling of going into shock that comes with an exaggerated parasympathetic response.
Great stuff Arnica -- never leave home without it!
Peace,
Dale

sorry to hear about that Dale! i worry about hitting deer everyday - there are billions of them around here. so far so good. glad you are ok.

i know how upsetting and scarey that can be. i hit a deer a few years ago and was sick to my
stomach the next day when i saw a chunk of hairy flesh in my bumper. i still get a sick feeling when
i recall that day. i must see a killed deer on the roadside everyday in driving around. the northeast is
definitely a deer haven and they are all over my lawn all year round.

Poor you, Dale
Hope you're recovered soon. And yes - thank God we've got Arnica!

Hello Dale,
Seeing as you had already triturated the deer, next come the succussions and dilution!!!
But seriously Arn is filled with nerve wracked feelings mentally/emotionally. Glad you had it with you.

I'm used to seeing them steal into our fields to feed in the evening. One was even born there last spring. Maybe that fawn balances out the one I killed.

the overpopulation is quite high. this year the deer are looking quite small. too much competition for food.
in the summer i see them, quite literally, circling my garden. they bring the babies there as if teaching them
to look for ways to penetrate t he 8' fence. one year i found a newly born fawn right outside the garden gate
in the tall grasses (i don't start to mow till after the violets die back on the lawn). couldn't believe the mother
left it there.
beautiful animals, but so destructive to what we work so hard on growing.
