I have just returned from several extensive deployments and have signed back onto Lactnet after being away several months. I noticed the bee sting comments. Having just deployed to Fort A.P. Hill for the National Boy Scout Jamboree, I thought I would give you the Boy Scouts' remedy for bee stings which is used at the Jamborees. Take a teaspoonful of Meat Tenderizer, UNseasoned. Add a little water to make a paste, and apply to the bee sting. The tenderizer ingredients break down the protein in the bee venom. Frank J. Nice, DPA, CPHP
