Bee venom therapy

From RationalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Bee venom therapy (also known as apitheraphy) is an alternative medicine which purports to cure or ameliorate diseases such as multiple sclerosis through application of the venom of bees. Application can take the form of a powdered venom, liquid, or plain old bee stings. Existing scientific studies have all come up as either inconclusive or clearly negative. Bee venom therapy does include a serious inherent risk as well. Roughly 2% of people are allergic to bee stings and could suffer from allergic reaction and anaphylactic shock.
