GussieGus, In the 2nd article it states "treatment of laboratory cultures on Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium with <U>melittin, a 26-amino acid peptide contained in honeybee venom<U>, showed immediate and profound inhibitory effects when they were monitored by darkfield microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and optical density measurements." Therefore Melittin might be helpful for those of us with bee sting allergies. I don't know if it is available alone as a supplement or if only the whole venom is available.

I know that my dad, who is a beekeeper, originally was allergic to bee stings. However, after going through a particular regimen of giving himself stings at certain acupressure spots, he now shows no allergic reaction to bee stings. He continues to purposely receive stings each day to strengthen his immune system and ward off various other diseases that bee stings help prevent. I am not sure what his original regimen was but I know that he found out how to desensitize himself from his talks with other beekeepers

Do we know what it is in Bee Venom that does the trick? The main reason I ask is if someone is highly allergic to bee stings, what recourse is there for someone with Lyme Disease?
