Can Bee Venom Kill Lyme Disease?

Original: Can Bee Venom Kill Lyme Disease? https:// tube.blueben.net/w/cM7XdugpXUq Eg6S3JWPjWK

Attention is turning to whether bee venom could kill the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. The question, raised in a recently shared educational piece, touches on ongoing scientific interest in how melittin, a compound in bee venom, affects Borrelia bacteria. Researchers have studied this in laboratory settings, but there is no established venom-based treatment for patients, and medical experts continue to stress standard antibiotic therapy as the proven approach.

Why now: Renewed interest in alternative or experimental treatments for Lyme disease, a persistent and often hard-to-treat illness.
