Mr. Beard - You might intertested to know that ordinary meat tenderizer pur-
chased at a  grocery store works wonders on bee stings (as well as mosquito
bites).  I simply shake a little of the tenderizer salt (which contains a
protease to degrade the venom) on my hand, mix it in a few drops of water
and smear the mixture on the sting site. In minutes the stinging lessens
and rarely does redness and swelling develop.      Winifred Doane, ASU
