I didn't know what "wild crafting" was so I had to click on it, absolutely! been doing it for years before it had a name

Medicine wise I will not tell you anything that I have not tried myself and found to be true for myself. I collect poison ivy when it comes up early before the sap is full (coming soon), eat a bit of leaf, wait a few days eat a little more and eventually you can make a salad of it if you wanted in the high sap months. You slowly build up an immunity until you are completely immune. For years I avoided doing this but I finally got up the nerve to do it a few years ago and I figured worst case scenario I pay a lot for health care insurance so they can pay for it if I need a shot, it works.
Thistle Root: Use gloves in the high season when pulling them up well away from highway spray poisons, clean and dry the root, brew a strong tea (cover cup so oils do not escape) and take three times a day if you have anything that you might think you need antibiotics for. Sure you can get a zpac but why rely on a system that is not within your control?
I think a responsible adult should have at least some small understandings of medicine and the human body for personal health.
