Penny For Your Bite,

Found this interesting.....something to keep in mind if you are every stung.
Just wanted to share a bit of information .

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 antibiotic.

What was interesting is what Dr. Milkovic 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 dead head her flowers and guess what, you are right I got bit 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 to 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.

Dr. Milkovic said somehow the copper in the penny counteracts the bite. I
would never had believed it. But it definitely does work.
