What about you Ben, any luck with the stick?
No, I tried again today. Similar to last time. I did 3 points and didn't get anything but brief increase in heart speed and blotchy skin (lasting about a minute) This time I used a mist bottle to keep it moist. I also tried laying a moist paper towel over the points and pressing down on the kambo. I tried turning the kambo over and working it in all sorts of ways. I then applied fresh balls of kambo. But still couldn't get any significant effect.
Are you guys applying fast enough. Spray the stick and work them into balls.
Make sure the top layer skin is peeled and the burns are of adequate size.
The kambo should be able to find its way in. Perhaps mist once at culmination of purge.
I honestly can't see what I could be doing wrong. Have you ever come across "weak" batches of kambo or heard of it happening from time to time?
