While bees may be considered to very dangerous when it comes to their stings, they are a useful source of medicine. The use of bee venom therapy for lyme disease is a practice that has been ongoing for decades. The therapy is very useful especially in minimizing reactions to allergies including those as a result of the same bee stings. Patients with multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and nerve pain can also benefit from this treatment.
The venomous extract is enriched with peptides, enzymes and amines. There are more than eighteen products from the extract that have medicinal properties. The product works to increase cortisol release and improve immune system function. In the past, therapy was achieved by triggering bees to sting in selected areas of the skin. Currently, the therapeutic agent comes in form cream, ointment or injection.
The treatment is most effective when there is direct involvement of bee on the skin. The bees are able to produce highly potent therapeutic agent when they have enough source of food that is pollen. This happens especially during fall and some period of spring. The cold season is not good for production.
People who are allergic to the bee stings can benefit greatly from vaccination by the agent. This form of treatment has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and has been shown to provide at least 99% immunity. It should be noted that a single sting is not sufficient to provide protection and one has to go through a series of exposure to attain the required protection.
Some side effects may be experienced when the shot is given. Some of them include redness, swelling and rashes. Other effects not related to the skin include shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. These reactions vary from one individual to another and may not even be there for most people when administered by a qualified professional. They are commonly seen in people with extreme allergies, women and those who use honeybee venom.
There are certain situations in which this kind of therapy is contraindicated. Pregnant women should be given these shots with caution as very high doses can result in miscarriage. This is because of the high levels of histamine produced that cause the uterus to contract. Similarly, the agent should be avoided in autoimmune diseases as the immune system is triggered to overactive levels that worsen the disease.
An emergency kit becomes quite handy when an individual goes into anaphylactic shock. This is a reaction that may encompass some of the side effects and becomes worse when the person goes into unconsciousness. The kit contains a syringe and epinephrine. Intervention needs to be made as fast as possible to save the life of the individual and further evaluation needs to be done at a health facility.
While this therapy may be beneficial in certain cases, further research needs to be done on others to ascertain the effectiveness. Some of the conditions that need further evaluation include multiple sclerosis and neuritis. Although, most bee farmers do not usually suffer from arthritis, scientific evidence is needed to know for sure that the venom can be used as a remedy.
