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.  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.&nbs p; 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 string 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.

She got stung again a few days later upon her back---cutting the

grass!  And the penny worked once again.

Wanted to share this marvelous information in case you experience the

same problem.  We need to keep a stock of pennies on hand. The doctorsaid that the copper in the penny counteracts the bite.  It definitely

works!

Please remember and pass this information on to your friends,

children, grandchildren, etc.
