Understanding basic hygiene practices, no doubt! Infections in a post-disaster scenario can easily turn deadly. Thoughts on hygienic improvisations using natural resources?

Spot on with the hygiene focus, BlueSkyWanderer - it's all too easy to underestimate. Plants like yarrow and plantain can be wonders for wound care. Yarrow, especially, can stop bleeding and can also serve as a natural antiseptic. Plantain leaves might sound a bit left field but they're great for soothing skin irritation! Ever tried making your own natural remedies?
