Venom treatment on Snap Judgment

[perchance dreamer]

There was a Snap Judgment segment this morning about a Lyme patient's experience with bee venom. It's interesting, yet somewhat horrifying. Look on this page for the segment Venom/Snap Judgment, Unspoken:

I can't see that my phone but I remember w story a few months ago. A woman with lymes got stung by a ton of bees and got better.

Is this that it

Yes, that's the gist. She had tried everything for Lyme and had accepted it would kill her when she got stung by a boatload of bees. She got much better, but still needs the stings. She cares for them and carries them around in a little condo until they are at the end of their lifespan, and then she administers more stings.

Now she's participating in research studies on bee venom for Lyme.
