My mom just emailed me about a weird bee sting cure its worth a try.............
Here's a copy of her email to me
This information may be something to remember, as this season will soon =be =20here again... It might be wise to carry a penny in your pocket while working =20in the yard......... BEE STINGS ! A couple of weeks ago, I was stung by both a bee and hornet while workin=g in =20the garden. My arm swelled up, so I went to the doctor. The clinic gave me cream and= an =20antihistamine. The next day the swelling was getting progressively worse,= so =20I went to my regular doctor. The arm was Infected and needed an =20antibiotic.The doctor told me - ' The next time you get stung, put a penn=y =20on =20the bite for 15 minutes'. That night, my niece was stung by two bees. I looked at the bite and it =had =20alreadystarted to swell. So, I taped a penny to her arm for 15 minutes. =The =20next morning, there was no sign of a bite. We decided that she just was=n't =20allergic to the sting. Soon, I was gardening outside. I got stung again, =20twice by a hornet on my left hand. I thought, here I go again to the =20doctor for another antibiotic. =20 I promptly got my money out and taped two pennies to my bites, then satand sulked for 15 minutes. The penny took the string out of the bite =20immediately. In the meantime the hornets were attacking, and my friend was stung on t=he =20thumb. =20 =20Again the penny. The next morning I could only see the spot where the ho=rnet =20had stung me. No redness, no swelling. My friend's sting was the same; =20couldn't even tell where she had been stung. =20 She got stung again a few days later upon her back---cutting the grass! =20 =20And the penny worked once again. Wanted to share this marvelous information in case you experience the =20 =20same problem. We need to keep a stock of pennies on hand . The doctor said that the copper in the penny counteracts the bite. It =20definitely works! Please remember and pass this information on to your friends, children, =20grandchildren, etc.
