Are bee strings and snake bites the next cures? [View all]

Lysol! Disinfectant! Bright lights! Wishful thinking! I'm waiting for the bee string recommendation. I have MS. Bee stings are one of the many less than effective treatments that have been actually proposed for MS. I suppose that if you get enough of them, they would at least be a distraction. And if bee stings don't work, there is always snake handling.
