A member asked:

I learned that a wasp sting can cure arthritis. is that true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There is no current "cure" for arthritis. Symptoms of arthritis can be helped with medications, injections. In england, there have been reports of using bee stings to treat arthritis pain, but the studies to date are not that good.
