You’ll bee in a pickle.
More from the
‘unconventional cures’ file,
following the pharmacy reader
who was aghast the agony
aunt pharmacist who hadn’t
recommended bleach as an
antifungal treatment (PD 22
Aug), comes the person who
wrote to pharmacists Joe and
Teresa Graedon to share a
helpful hint when it came to
treating bee stings.
The reader wrote in a letter
published on the Bradenton
Herald website that when both
her four year old daughter and
her husband were stung in the
mouth by bees, they sucked on
“a giant pickle” which seemed
to alleviate the swelling.
The pharmacists replied that a
sting in the mouth or throat was
a medical emergency due to the
possibility of blocked airways
and immediate attention should
be sought, but that they were
glad the “pickle trick” worked.
Fresh income stream category.
If you are looking for
another income source and
are prepared to take on a new
category in the healthy eating
department, take a leaf (sorry)
out of Marriott Hotels Chicago.
According to the Marriott
News Centre, the chain has
adopted a healthy food vending
machine created by Farmer’s
Fridge for after hours travellers
needing to feed the weary body.
The machines are installed
in 12 different locations in
Chicago and offer a Detox
Salad (aka Junk Food Eraser),
Greek Yoghurt and Berries (aka
Breakfast of the Gods) and
Lemon Pepper Chicken.
