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.

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 doctor said that the copper in the penny counteracts the bite.
It definitely works!

Please remember and pass this information

on to your friends, children, grandchildren

I just got this this morning and thought I would share it with all you outdoor growers....could come in handy!

Peace

Another method is to wet some non-menthol tobacco and apply it as a salve to the sting.
It extracts the poison from the wound almost instantly.

I also found this on Youtube

adolphs meat tenderizer for a few minutes on a sting will do the same.
but a wet penny works great.

i worked as a beekeeper in grade and jr high school.

Almost looks like pot leaves he is grinding there! LOL! I bet you hemp oil would work as well.

I bet it is something to do with mint. Looks like it. Hard to tell.

I was expecting a punchline at the end.

We have lots of pennys in the jar, and bees in the garden right now. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip.

That is what products like After Bite are, pure amonia. Old school methods work!

Thanks Toke!

I didnt know after bite was amonia.I know it's not pure.Pure 100% amonia is use in cold storeages to cool them down and freezers.It will kill you ,I watch it drip on a pallet of hotdogs in the korger susage factory. You cant breath it for it burns your lungs out in mins.The stuff we get at the store is 7% diluted, the printers amonia is 28% and it will burn your skin.They clean the roller with it.Just stuff I learned over the years. Peace

another good tip, if your out in the field keep a sandwich baggie of 25% salt 75% flour on you. if you get a bad gash or bleeding wound you grab a handful and press it on there, the salt sterilizes the flour forms an almost instant scab.

Jangel, I was thinking this had happened to you repeatedly so while reading it I kept thinking to myself "gee this gal really needs to move". lol Really a handy tip. I've never heard of that before.
