Good one Curt, I'll have to look in the coin collection for a penny as we
don't have any in the new currency

Sort of off topic but if this remedy works especially at some of the later 
summer and fall engine shows when the wasps & hornets seem to be at the
worst 
around our engine sites its worth sharing.

 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 minut es. 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, etc.
