Do people with bee sting allergies have t.gondii infections?
I have connected T.gondii with a variety of things: Seizures, Epilepsy, schizophrenia....but they are all autoimmune which means cross-targeting autoimmunity must be occurring. A virus has to trigger the attack at the target tissue from the inside. Are these autoimmune diseases all bee sensitive because of their connection to T.gondii?

Bee sting reactions have been found in schizophrenia patients

I have connected in the past seizures/epilepsy with t.gondii and enteroviruses

Does Apis mellifera venom (honey bee venom) effect T.gondii?
I can't see this paper to find out:
- Effect of Bee Venom on Toxoplasma gondii Tachyzoites in vitro - Ahmad G. Hegazi, Hassan A. El-Fadaly and Ashraf M. BARAKAT (Egypt)
T.gondii is carried by mice and cats
T.cruzi is carried by kissing bugs and the dogs that eat them
T.cruzi which causes changas is killed by honey bee venom
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23562368
The Kissing bug carries the T.cruzi the way mice carry T.gondii

note that kissing bugs are nocturnal so keep your pet in at night
Hymenoptera are the venom group of Apoidea (bees), Vespoidea (wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets), and Formicidae (ants).
What is it in the bee sting that Toxoplasmas dislike? perhaps the compound apamin which can cross the blood brain barrier. (our nerves don't like it either)

Interestingly HoneyBee venom has been a remedy for malaria too.
