Bee Stings? Grab an Onion

I don't know exactly why this works but it does. And I've tested it out in the field.
When you first get a bee sting, slice open an onion and squeeze the juice right onto the sting.

It might 'sting' ( sorry I couldn't resist) a little but it will take away the pain very quickly and it will heal the sting.

Just ask my son. The school called when he was about 8 saying he was stung by a bee. I did what all mothers do and open my cupboard and grabbed and onion and a knife. I raced to school and showed up with my home remedy. As the school nurse look on in dismayed disbelief, my son just rolled his eyes and said to the nurse that his Mom does these crazy things. By the time the nurse closed her mouth I had sliced open the onion, poured the juice on the sting and my son had already stoopped complaining about how much it hurt. It was enough empirical evidence for my son!
