difference in whether or not a
person gets a reaction,” he stated.
“What matters is if the person is
sensitive to the bee venom which
consists, m smaller quantities, of
the same poison found in rat
tlesnake and cobra venom. ’'
Brooks explained that a bee sting
has 1/10 milligram of the venom.
This venom, he said, works on the
pituitary gland ot the animal or
person stung.

reasons why. Brooks explained bee
venom contains something thgt
affects rheumatic conditions.

He closed by suggesting
apiarists should get stung 5 days
after a previous sting or 25 days
later, otherwise they may suffer a
reaction. Brook's final words left
