So what do you do when you get stung by a wasp and have nothing to put on it?
Grab a copper penny. It has to be copper, not a new one. Just hold it on the sting a while. I have used this idea twice now. A few years ago a red wasp popped me at a retreat. I tried the penny. It worked. Yesterday at the park a yellow jacket got me. I was hunting in my fanny pack for a penny. A friend offered me one, thinking I was nutty. In just a few minutes it stopped stinging. This morning it was a tiny pus pocket which I popped and cleaned with peroxide. No itch.

How does this prove you aren't nutty?
Where would you find a copper penny in 2011?
In my purse and I'M NOT NUTTY!
