[Everything doTERRA] Re: home made bean bags/hot packs

Thank you for sharing your source for buying your cherry pits. They
say there bags can even go through the washer & dryer and they will
also hold the cold for up to an hour too. How very cool!
I've made similar bags from barley, rice, & pintos.

Do cherry pits never go bad or attract bugs? Never had bug problems
with mine but there arn't a lot of bugs in Alaska.
