Dear John
Thanks for your message. The latest item by Harry Riches on NSAIDs was
in February 1997, page 59. He refers to an article in June 1986 (page
184). His lecture in 1998 was published in Bee World, (1989), Vol 70, No
1, pp 12-18. 'Recent problems in th treatment of bee venom allergy' was
published by the Central Association of Beekeepers in 1990 and was
included in their composite publication 'Keeping Bees'. His article
'Keep taking the tablets' was published in Bee Craft, October 1990, pp
301-302.

It now seems that the NSAIDs scare was a typical cyberspace hype, unless
you know better!
... the letter of Dave Black (Bee Craft Nov 1996) perpetuates the
unsubstantiated contention that ibuprofen, a non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can alter the immune response to stings ...
internet ... 'rubbish in, rubbish out'. [Bee Craft (Feb 1997) H.R.C.
