Murdock or Cocklebur

[Colohunter]

If you find a cockelbur plant and remove the leaves then smash them and rub the liquid on your rash, poisin ivy or oak it will relieve the itchy sensation.

Lotta folks enjoy spending their leisurely time on meticulously manicured lawns .... the yards look nice but ya can't do a damn thing with it. I have all kinds of stuff growing in my "yard" and haven't a clue as to what most of it is but I do know what Plantain is http://www.altnature.com/gallery/plantain.htm if you happen to get bit by a spider such as the Brown Recluse or Black Widow, pull a leaf or two, chew it into a mulch and apply it to the bite, apply dressing to hold the mulch in place .... you're as good as new. Plantain can also be eaten like a salad or just a few plain ole leaves while your doctoring yourself up.

ETA .... as with any plant make sure to identify with absolute certainty. And if you have a dog running loose in the yard ya might oughta consider rinsing the leaves before ya begin chompin on them.
