My mom had ALS. I keep bees. There was about a six month period in the progression of the disease that a bee sting would fix for a few hours. She couldn't speak or swallow at this stage. After a bee sting her speech came back and she could swallow. The effect lasted for about four hours. Eventually the stings didn't work enough and the end was soon after.
There is quite a bit of complex chemistry in bee, insect, and snake venom. Much of it can be used in medicine.

Its a pretty specific wasp and it works for pretty specific cancers [prostate and bladder. Hum, so I wonder then if a man was taking allergy shots regularly for Wasp and Bee stings if it would be a preventive vaccine for Prostate Cancer as well? The shots have venom in them. Prostate Cancer finally claimed my dad about four years ago but I have taken allergy shots on a regular basis for stings for 10 years now so in case I get stung I won't have as a severe of a reaction.

Nature does generally seem to seek equilibrium between opposing forces. That is why both planets and subatomic particles stay in stable orbits, the forces pushing them away are balanced by the forces pulling them in.
This is pretty much the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Most people know it as “entropy” but that is a simplistic understanding of what the phenomena is. Really, the 2nd law means that energy always tries to seek equilibrium and evenly distribute itself. So it flows from areas of high energy to low energy until there is absolute equilibrium, stasis.

“which will surely be less hazardous...”
And slower....
Listen, there is the right way, the wrong way, and the Boogieman way. Which may be the wrong way (but faster).

I will have to remember, when you are hassling the bikers again, that you tried to coax cancer sufferers into hitting wasp nests.

So asbestos you can, what went wrong. There are several kinds of asbestos, one of which is particularly noteworthy as troublesome.

If you want to be a big joke, by all means you are welcome to be a big joke, but then I don’t have to crucify you; you do it to yourself with amusing regularity.

My sympathies, envisio.
Maybe God listened, and this is an answer.
