Hannah, If you feel the need you can still buy Reckitts Blue bags from http://www.carbolicsoap.com they are only 99p each. I remember them well, they were made up, I think from synthetic ultramarine and baking soda, there is a good article on wikipedia about them.  Stephanie. |

 Ah, so it was the baking soda that was the cure all! Thanks, I will know what to slap on a bee sting in future.
