Bee Sting

Did you ever experience a bee attack and the effect of its sting? Bee sting is poisonous. Below is an advice from a doctor:

Some people are specially sensitive to bee or wasp venom, a sting can be serious. First, remove (with forceps, if possible) the stinger, if it has been left with the wound. Pain can be relieved by applying household ammonia or a paste of Sodium Bicarbonate and water. Do not plaster the wound with mud.  This old-fashioned remedy may cause infection. If a sting is on a very sensitive place such as the eyelid, lip, or tongue, or if the victim complains of weakness or swelling of the body, call a doctor immediately. If you have been prescribed medicine for bee-sting allergy, take it as soon as possible. To avoid such stings, keep away from hollow trees and other places where hives may be. (ref: Dr. Benjamin F. Miller, M.D., Family Health Guide and Medical Encyclopedia)

May I add here the experience of my husband's Aunt  when her gardener was attacked by a bee and the venom made his face and hands swell. One morning, our Aunt asked his gardener to clear the small trees that grew in her garden. Her gardener did not notice the bee hive in one of the trees he was cutting. When the bee hive was disturbed, without warning the bees raced to attack the gardener. Our Aunt was so nervous and she did not know what to do. However, she remembered the Coco-Moringa Herbal Mix Oil that she has in her house. Immediately, she asked the gardener to apply in the areas of the attacked skin. Then the gardener went home with some amount of oil that she gave for another application while waiting for the swelling to subside. 

The following morning, her gardener went to see her and happily showed his face and hands that no trace of swelling seen. A great experience for the Coco-Moringa Herbal Oil Mix...a must to have for every household to be ready for first aid needs.
