When I was a kids back in the days of the dinosaurs my mom would cut a potato and put it on our burns and insect bites. As I remember it drew out the venom from the insect bites and the heat from the burns..

Crafters also make stamps with potatoes.

Hello and welcome to mylot! I remember that my mother in law cut a potato in half and placed it on her temples when she had a headache. A long time later I discovered that this was an old way of placing something cold there, when ice cubes weren´t available.

This one is new to me. We always use, used teas bags for burns even flash burn. I will keep it in mind though! Thanks for the tip

Okay, so maybe this isn't really a practical use of a potato that would be able to save someone money, but it is a fun and crafty use of a potato and that is to make stamps from potatoes that can be used for crafts. You will put a cookie cutter into the potato and then trim around the cookie cutter. The result will be a stamp that can be used for kid's craft projects. It is an inexpensive way for children to be able to make some cool crafts.

if you put anything cold and damp there it will do the same,and the potato does work like a poltis to draw out The hurt.
