Here is an article about it. It says that wasp venom is being studied as a possible conjunctive antibiotic for Lyme. It says "Wasp Venom seems to affect the nervous system" and "During the first 6 months and even during recovery, herxheimer reactions can be severe".
Mellitin from bee's kills borrelia. Don't think I would go with wasps. Wasps eat insects and may transmit infections they carry. I have watched them eat spiders. And since most spiders are blood sucking arachnids like ticks I just don't think it would be wise at this time.

Wow, interesting. After getting bartonella (not Lyme yet) I took this homeopathic snake venom remedy, and within a week was stung by three wasps after never having been stung in my life that I can recall, and having wasps around my property in the years before that. My homeopath thought it was due to the remedy being too high of a dose and thus making me "venomous," but maybe the wasps were just trying to give me some healing. Thankfully I'm not allergic!
