It can kill Anthrax too, my wife is a Microbiologist and has a published article showing the effect of black teas on Anthrax

Mark,

I had a similar experience, but it took four hours and a trip to the ER before I was told to simply use a moist teabag instead of gauze to stop the bleeding. I’m sure I’ve posted the advice online multiple times since then – maybe it’s my advice you read?

I remember using tea bags to dye paper for a school project when I was young. It does look neat.

After reading the teabag personality article, I think I’m pretty much every type they have on there, it just depends on the day. I’m normally a teabag-leaver-inner though. I love strong tea… I use two bags most times too. Much better than coffee.

Teabags on the eyes totally works! But only if it’s chammomile – anything else doesn’t do anything for me.

thanks for the interesting post. I love tea… a good strong cup of black tea is really good for upset stomachs, too (although that is a rather traditional use of tea!)

Seems that the Teahouse Times link doesn’t work anymore. For info on donating used tea bags, click on my name to contact T-Bag Original Designs.

Another interesting one — I used it to stop the incessant bleeding in my mouth just after I had my wisdom teeth removed. After bloodying several feet of gauze over the course of a few hours, I read online somewhere that sucking on a tea bag can help. The problem was solved in about 2 minutes.
