Readers will learn about each insect's body including all the parts of its head, thorax, and abdomen, and will also discover which bees and wasps can deliver a venomous or paralyzing sting. Where each bee or wasp can be found is covered, and the contributions of bees and wasps in medicine is introduced, including the use of venom for treatment of joint pain and arthritis.
Xtreme facts provide additional information on these interesting insects. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. They allow plants, including fruits and vegetables, to reproduce through pollination. Although they play a crucial role in maintaining the natural cycle, most people are afraid of bees and try to stay away.
There is a good reason for this: Bees sting. For most people, this is just a painful experience. However, for some, a bee sting can cause allergic reactions that can be quite serious or even fatal. The bee allergy is, therefore, is the kind of allergy that should be taken seriously. In this book, readers will find some crucial details about bee and wasp allergy.
They will also find tips on avoiding new bee stings, how to treat these reactions, and more importantly, focus on preventing severe allergic reactions in the long run. All About Bee Stings helps kids find out how to know if they were stung and how to treat the sting. Easy-to-read text, fascinating photographs, and colorful graphics help young readers explore what's going on inside of them while learning key science concepts.
Ancient Russian manuscripts attached great importance to honey as a medicine. Popular medicine has successfully used it for many diseases from time immemorial. I am a physician, and I participated the prevention and control of coronavirus in China.
There is one discovery we would like to report here. It reminds us the story of the discovery of cowpox and the eventual victory of humans over this disease Bennett and Baxby, A total of beekeepers were surveyed from February 23 to March 8, including in Wuhan, the outbreak epicentre of Hubei. None of these beekeepers developed symptoms associated with COVID, and their health was totally normal. After that, we interviewed five apitherapists in Wuhan and followed patients of their apitherapy clinic.
These patients had received apitherapy from October to December , and all the five bee apitherapists have the habit of self-apitherapy for their own health care apitherapy means making use of bee venom from the honeybee's sting to treat or prevent certain diseases. Without any protective measures, two of the five apitherapists were exposed to suspected COVID cases and others were exposed to confirmed COVID cases, but none of them were infected eventually.
It might be supposed that beekeepers are less likely to be exposed to SARS-CoV-2 because they live in less densely populated rural areas. But the five apitherapists and their patients are from densely populated areas in Wuhan. These people have one thing in common: they develop a tolerance to bee sting.
Bee sting can cause allergic reactions Park and Lee, , and it can even lead to death due to the excessive stress response of the immune system Vazquez-Revuelta and Madrigal-Burgaleta, Bee venom can affect the body's immune system Cherniack and Govorushko, and enhance the differentiation of human regulatory T cells Caramalho et al.
To test this, animal experiments would be needed. Monkeys might be suitable for this study. Monkeys could be divided into two experimental groups with the same breed and age. One group could be made tolerant to bee venom after a period of daily bee stings, while the other group receives no intervention.
Our purpose in writing this letter is to ask scholars with appropriate research conditions to test this assumption. The research conforms to moral and ethical norms. Project number of the funding: The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. The survey data of beekeepers in Hubei province were provided by professor Fu-liang Hu, an expert of apiology.
Xu gave me a lot of support on my task of the prevention and control of coronavirus.
