“In Dr Duffy’s research the bees were put to sleep with carbon dioxide and kept on ice before the venom barb was pulled out from the abdomen of the bee and the venom was extracted and injected into the tumours.”
“Save the honeybee!”
Wow. Sure am glad they made sure those bees were properly sedated, rather than ripping them limb from limb, without anesthesia, like a worthless clump of cells sometimes referred to as a human fetus.
But, follow up question: Were the bees ok?
Do I need a /s?
My wife had HER2 and we had bees. She was never stung because of all the chemicals from Chemo. She sure enjoyed watching them fly around.
Yes. PETA will be here real soon.
No you don’t need a sarc tag.
But honeybee populations are in decline and if they hold a cure for cancer...we need to everything we can to support their ongoing existence for food production and now for curing cancer.
I suspect if bee venom is a viable source for a cure, science will be able to create a mimic for it.
