Apitherapy -- let a bee sting you!
It was really warm today, all kinds of insects including bees (honeybees) buzzing round. So I took
the opportunity of applying 8 bees today, 20 min or more apart.
Two to my lower back, the rest just below the belly button on my gut.
It gave me a good feeling!
Most of the stings just felt like a Tennessee "sweat bee" but two of them were quite memorable LOL!! YMMV
It's too soon to tell, but my badly bruised and swollen right foot from a recent heifer calf stomp is not bothering me at all right now.
The 1st sting I got on my upper arm by accident, about a fortnight ago, honeybee was attracted to my deodorant? Next day was a bit miserable with a red and swollen upper bicep that itched, but then I noticed all my age related aches 'n pains plus chronic tinnitus (that annoying ear ringing plus hearing loss) had vanished! Thats when I Googled it -- LOL
Anyone else had an experience like this? I heard "Bee Sting Therapy" can even cure RA, type II diabetes, and Parkinson's.
FYI: the pain from a honeybee is much less than a "yellow jacket" and way way less than a scorpion's 2nd strength sting
In most cases I wasn't entirely sure she had stung me at all -- until I saw the barb and venom sack in my skin. The barb can be removed with tweezers or just carefully scraped off. It comes out much easier than a cactus spine does.
