re lice midges and staph

Staphisagria was used by the Arabs of old as insecticide. However it is
quite toxic and therefore not readily available from herbalist suppliers. I
did get some and used it on kids years ago for headlice but then thought
even that was not a very good idea if they were likely to get a mouthful and
reverted to use of Quassia Bark ( which actually worked much better). In
potency I have had good experience of it with susceptibility midge bites
etc. The mental effects of susceptibility and over exposure to this sort of
thing is highly staphisagria (mental acute) And exceptional susceptibility
can often be found in people with other staphisagria characteristics.

Anyway I wouldn't recommend boiling up the delphiniums for an MT oral
remedy!
