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 was cutting grass and got stung again a few days later on her back! The
penny worked once again.
I 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!
