I got bitten today by several ants I surprised and antagonised them near a bush I was pruning. The stings didn’t last long but I would have found and picked plantain leaf if they had. Either the broad leaves or slender leaves version. These leaves actively diffuse all kinds of insect venom, whilst also soothing and de-inflaming. They can be quickly and briefly chewed and then the green ‘ mush’ rubbed into the sting.

Other herbs free for the picking that can help are sage leaves or marigold flowers.
