I received this info this morning and was wondering if it really works.
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. 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 stungagain 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 doctor said that the copper in the penny counteracts the bite. It definitely works!

Thank you Kitty. :DI received this e-mail too this morning (ahem). The first thing I did was send it to my hubby who is very allergic to bee stings too. :D
ReplyDeletethat's the wierdest thing I've ever heard, I've heard of using smoke to keep away bees, but not pennies healing bee stings.
ReplyDeletei think you need an exterminator
