Hi Ted and all,
 
I still remember being introduced to a bee venom product in the form of a
cream in a local apiculture fair.  It is indicated for arthritis and
muscular problem.  I was told that it is useful for those who intend to
take bee venom therapy as a preliminary test for allergies and
sensitivity with respect to bee stings. It is available in the market
with the trade name "FORAPIN", a product of Merck.  I need your comment
Ted, wheather it is safe to be used as preliminary indicator to the
allergies and other related complications.
 
Thanks.
