Adrian,
I would have replied personal e-mail but I have lost/misplaced your address.
I don't have it at hand but Pat Wagner(?) "The Bee Lady" from Maryland was
at ABF/Norfolk and gave a procedure description for desensitizing to bee
stings in her forum on Apitherapy. I will look the information for her point
of contact up for you (as soon as I finish sorting this stuff from the
convention) and post it to you. Could you send me your e-mail again? If there
is any general interest from the List I will post her information directly
here. Her book on Apitherapy is now ready from her, I think it is $27.00 a
copy.
