[Virginia Deacon]

Someone whose advice we respect sent us an email telling us about using a penny (taped to the sting site) to remove the pain and swelling from a bee sting. The first time she got stung, her doctor prescribed the standard treatment; afterwards, she tried the copper penny.

We haven't had a chance to try this yet, but she and her niece got stung three times in two days and swear that the penny cure is a valid one!
