a penny and bee stings? truth is stranger than fiction sometimes?
Question:
school and the info came from a local doctor....
(Just wanted to share a bit of information for school.)
A couple of weeks ago I was unfortunate
enough to get stung by both a bee and hornet
while working in the garden.
My arm swelled up so off to the doctor I went.
The clinic gave me cream and an antihistimine.
The next day the swelling was getting progressively
worse so off to my regular doctor I went.
Infected arm - needed an antibiotic.
What was interesting is what the Dr. told me.
The next time you get stung put a penny
on the bite for 15 minutes.
I thought, wow next time (if there ever is one)
I will try it.
Well that night Shelley's niece got stung by two bees.
When she came over to swim I looked at
the bite and it had already started to swell.
So off I went to get my money.
Taped a penny to her arm for 15 minutes.
The next morning, there was no sign of a bite.
Wow, were we surprised!
Her niece we decided just wasn't allergic to the sting.
Well guess what happened again on Saturday night.
I was helping Shelley deadhead her flowers and
guess what, you are right I got stung again two
times by a hornet on my left hand.
Was I ticked! I thought here I go again having
to go to the doctor for yet another antibotic.
Well I promptly went into the house, again
got my money out, and taped two pennies to my
bites and then sat and sulked for 15 minutes.
The penny took the string out of the bite immediately.
I still wasn't sure what was going to happen.
In the meantime the hornets were attacking
Shelley and she got bit on the thumb.
Again the penny.
The next morning I would only see the spot
where he had got me.
No redness, no swelling.
Went over the see Shelley and hers was the same.
Couldn't even tell where she got bit.
Then Shelley got stung again on Monday night on
her back---cutting the grass.
(This penny thing is going to make us money at school.)
Again it worked!!
Just wanted to share the marvelous information in case
any of you are experiencing the same problem at home.
We need to have a stock of pennies on hand at school.
The Dr. said somehow the copper in the penny
counteracts the bite.
I would never had believed it.
But it definitely does work.
