Bee stings and Arthritis.
I have been a beekeeper for 66 years. I seldom wear a veil or gloves (except when working with Spanish bees which are fierce). Contraptions to prevent stinging prevent me from sensing factors which are very important for me, so I do not wear them and consequently I get stung often. I have a very severe case of gout and bee stings do not do anything for it. So much for the "venom and arthritis theory." However, on the other hand, I have heard that beekeepers do not suffer from arthritis.
Best regards and God bless.
