Subject:/* A reminder about ' Bee Stings'

This information may be something to remember, as

this season will soon be here again...

It might be wise to carry a penny in your pocket

while working in the yard......... BEE STINGS !

A couple of weeks ago, I was stung by both a bee and

hornet while working in the garden. My arm swelled

up, so I went to the doctor. The clinic gave me

cream and an antihistamine. The next day the

swelling was getting progressively worse, so I went

to my regular doctor. The arm was Infected and

needed an antibiotic. & nbsp; The doctor told me - 'The

next time you get stung, put a penny on the bite for

15 minutes'.

That night, my niece was stung by two bees. I looked

at the bite and it had already started to swell. So,

I taped a penny to her arm for 15 minutes. The

next morning, there was no sign of a bite. & nbsp; We

decided that she just wasn't allergic to the sting.

Soon, I was gardening outside. I got stung again,

twice by a hornet on my left hand. I thought, here I

go again to the doctor for another antibiotic. I

promptly got my money out and taped two pennies to

my bites, then sat and sulked for 15 minutes.

The penny took the sting out of the bite immediately.

In the meantime the hornets were attacking, and my

friend was stung on the thumb. Again the penny. The

next morning I could only see the spot where the

hornet had stung me. No redness, no swelling. My

friend's sting was the same; couldn't even

tell where she had been stung.

Wanted to share this marvelous information in case

you experience the same problem. We need to keep a

stock of pennies on hand

The doctor said that the copper in the penny

counteracts the bite. & nbsp; It definitely works! Please

remember and pass this information on to your

friends, children, grandchildren, etc
