I think the infection is a strain of staph which is found everywhere. The
bee sting may have just provided open skin for the bacteria to enter
through. The best thing I've tried for a bee sting is a poltice. My whole
hand used to swell from a sting until I tried a couple of different
poltice's. One was a +ACI-drawing salve+ACI- a thick black salve from the drug
store. The other was my mother's home remedy of dry bar soap shavings and a
sprinkle of sugar with a couple drops of water on a bandaide. Both of these
remedies +ACI-draw+ACI- the poison out by means of osmosis, I think.  Anyway, it
works. I've wondered why they don't try this for more serious infections.

-+AD4APg- I live in Central PA where a young child died from a bacterial +AD0-
+AD4APg- infection.  The bacteria, according to the
+AD4APg- Department of Environmental Protection (PA division) came from a bee +AD0-
+AD4APg- sting.
