Colorado Woman Treats Lyme Disease with Bee Venom Acupuncture

Woman with Lyme disease reveals she stings herself with BEES on her spine 30 times a week to treat her symptoms - after spending $1,000 a month on other options that didn't work

• Brittany Elliott, 27, from Denver, Colorado, opened up about bee venom therapy (BVT), or apitherapy, earlier this week in a viral TikTok video 
• The footage, which shows herself stinging herself with live bees that she orders online, has been viewed more than 1.1 million times
• Brittany said she was bitten by a tick at the age of seven but didn't develop symptoms until she moved into a home with toxic black mold when she was 22 
• Lyme disease can typically be treated by several weeks of oral antibiotics, though some patients still report symptoms, including fatigue and joint pain
• It took her years to finally get diagnosed with Lyme disease, but the treatments she was paying nearly $1,000 a month for weren't helping 
• Brittany, who now stings herself with 10 bees, three times a week, believes two to three years of the treatment will rid her of symptoms
