My Neighbors Bee Sting and Chicken Poop

[Chicken daze(d)]

I'm not sure if this is where this message should go but . . .

My neighbor recently got stung by a bee and then got a bacterial infection. Her hand is very swollen. According to her, the doctor asked if she lived near live stock. At first she said no but then mentioned our chickens. The doctor said it was possible that the bee landed in the chicken poo and transmitted the bacteria to her when she got stung. Is this possible? Has anyone ever heard of this or is this one more sign of my neighbors craziness?

And isn't possible that the bee got bacteria from somewhere else???? Anyway, she's such a kind and loving neighbor that she wanted to let me know about this so that I could be on guard for my children's sake (and this last sentence is laden with sarcasm).

I think that's quite a long shot and your neighbor is probably off the deep end...

Never heard that one before.

Why would a bee land on chicken poo?

Alot of people misunderstand DR s or just plain don't listen very well.

If it could be from the bee landing on chicken poop, then it could be from the bee landing on anything that had some nasty bacteria on it. Sounds like a stretch to me.

Um, sure. I'm sure that's what happened.

Either she's REALLY far out there or her doctor is!

Sounds to me like she got stung and never washes her hands!

To French Hen:

I have no idea why a bee would land on chicken poo. Maybe it wanted to bee a fly that day (HA)!!!

She probably used dirty tweezers to pull out the stinger...crazy lady

In my neighbors "defense" she is OCD so she wouldn't have anything dirty on her side of the fence. Thus the bacteria must have come from my yard and my nasty dirty chickens. javascript:insert_text('
