I had a look in Holland and Barrett back when the arnica I had inherited from my mother ran out, and the pillules are homeopathic ā€“ which is not what I want, and very unlikely to be of the least use to anyone for anything.

Fair enough, you didnā€™t say exactly what you wanted, just Arnica.

I have given up; Twellies wants arnica for multiple bruises, and rubbing it on all over is such a pain (literally, because it makes the bruises hurt when you rub them) that I used to prefer eating a couple of pills a day. Only I canā€™t any more. Drat them.

I have a tale of woe re arnica. Not that you can really blame arnica, as such, I just didnā€™t know I was allergic to the stuffā€¦

It all started with a bruised arm, and a friend suggesting arnica gel. 24 hours after I rubbed the stuff in (and it did seem to help) I noticed a large area of my arm was very (and I mean very) red. Then it started to look a bit swollen too, and became increasingly painful. An emergency GP visit followed. No, it couldnā€™t be anything to do with the arnica, the GP said, sepsis was diagnosed and antibiotics prescribed. 5 days later it was no better (and still unbelievably painful) and the GP prescribed a different antibiotic - two weeks worth. After 19 days on antibiotics the arm finally improvedā€¦

And I developed c diff as a result of all the antibiotics. I didnā€™t know it was possible to feel so ill.

I still (fool that I am) believed the GP that it had been sepsis, so when a couple of years later I managed to bruise myself on the other arm, I dug out the arnica gelā€¦

Guess what happened next.

Can one at that point eat lots of Piriton or equivalent against allergy?

I would probably have done likewise TFM

One can and one did eat lots of piriton, the second time around - it was prescribed along with a steroid cream by a different GP. Still took nearly 2 weeks to heal though.

The trick is that cooking time is largely irrelevant ā€“ what matters is the temperature that the centre has reached, and therefore the time the heat takes to penetrate from outside.

So what you need is a way of monitoring the temperature without opening the oven doorā€¦
