Sting the Pain Away

Insects of all sorts are attracted to me, I sit for a few seconds on my porch and I realize twenty bugs have already stung me. That's when I wonder about there existence. I still don't know why mosquitoes exist but bees on the other hand have a more useful purpose besides moving nectar around.  I was recently stung by a bee and that's when I realized why? I decided to look into this and I found that Bee venom may be helpful to arthritis suffers. I found this extremely interesting and I decided to look more into it! 
It turns out that this didn't only interest me, at Georgetown University in Washington D.C, a one-year preliminary study of bee venom to treat multiple sclerosis will be conducted. This I found so amazing, since I would even be interested in implementing bee venom into my studies.  
Been venom contains a substance called adolapin, which is anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking. Bee venom is also said to increase blood circulation and reduce swelling.
Although I have not looked to much into this, there will be differently more post on this in the future, and more post in general to come! Sorry for not posting in a while school and life have kind of gotten in the way!
Comment Below If You Want Me To Discuss Something New Next Week! Thanks!
