>
> 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.
