How To Cure Chilblains | Old School Survival Skills You Should Know | Survival Life
Suffering from chilblains due to extreme cold? Use a slice of apple and some salt to solve your problem. Dip a slice of apple in common salt then rub it gently on the affected parts. It would be best to use a juicy apple for this trick.

Some good info in there.

Good catch I didn't see that one and had to look it up.


Chilblains are small, itchy swellings on the skin that occur as a reaction to cold temperatures. They most often affect the body's extremities, such as the toes, fingers, heels, ears and nose. Chilblains can be uncomfortable, but rarely cause any permanent damage.https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chilblains/

Notice how all the graphics are sponsored by Gallagher's cigarettes. Can't imagine Marlboro being allowed to sponsor anything educational these days.
