I absolutely LOVE that stuff. My hubby keeps some handy for canker sores, so I got a bunch of sticks from him for a mouth sore (teeth grinding) but I quickly started using it for other things.

I had a small cyst under the skin of my chin. I always deviled it, so it was always sore. One day, it started erupting from under the skin so I burned the top layer away. Then I had the bright idea to press harder and get the rest of it. Amazingly, it worked wonderfully.
Then I used them on skin tags, and most recently, on an almost entirely flat mole I've had on my knee for as long as I recall.

I go through weird phases where my skin "crawls" and I "scratch" the skin off (it's actually more like friction because I keep my nails extremely short and I use the flat of my nails, rubbing them across the itchy spot.
As soon as I start, I burn the spot and that takes care of that.
The sticks are also great for insect bites.

BUT- how often is too much? Silver Nitrate is a poison. I've googled "overdose" but can't find any info about the sticks, just the pills (which will turn you permanently blue if you use too much )

Another thing: I have an extremely high pain tolerance, but my hubby finds it very odd that I feel almost nothing when using the sticks. For me, it feels *a little* like putting salt on a wound. The sting is extremely slight. I'm giving myself chemical burns though and I find it interesting that it doesn't hurt.
My youngest daughter tapped one on her arm and she claims she felt an unpleasant tingle immediately. I think it's just in her head.

Does anyone have any experience with these?
