Here is one I bet you never heard of. My Dad and I were camping when I was around 10 years old, and I woke up on night and my ear was killing me. We were in the deep woods of Arkansas, in the Mulberry area, and it was a long ways to a doctor.
After I told my Dad that my ear was hurting pretty bad, he got up, and said, I'll be back in a few minutes. I was thinking OK, that really helped.
After around 10 minutes he crawled back in the tent, and said lay with the ear that hurts facing up. So I rolled over with that ear facing up, and he spit right in my ear.
I almost got sick, and ask him why in the heck he spit in my ear. He said, " That's tobaco juice boy, and it's help you ear ache". This is one time I really thought my dad was full of chit. But in less than 20 minutes, that ear stopped hurting and it never ached anymore.
I dont know exactly what Days Work tobaco juice does to an ear ache, but by golly it worked! I carry a plug of that stuff in my Bob and also use it on stings. Heck sometimes I just chew it for an after dinner desert!
