- One death by attack from bees, is one death too many. It is well known
that people can be highly allergic to bee stings, and how can anyone know in
advance if they are? Perhaps some solution to the increasing bee population
should be sought. After all, with the Government considering a cruise ship
dock in West Bay, the question arises, - what if a cruise ship passenger is
attacked and killed? That's not an impossibility - A Concerned Caymanian
- I have been stung a few times on the islands while on vacation and have
had huge swelling occur around the stings. What is the best remedy to use
for that? It usually stays around for several days - Dave Tripp
- Cut a piece of fresh aloe vera and apply the jelly to the site of the
bee sting. Works like a charm. Many Caymanians grow aloe in their garden and
would happily cut a piece for you. Just ask a member of your hotel's
housekeeping/kitchen staff. Or you can buy a leaf of Aloe at Fosters, the
local supermarket - Juicy Fruit
