美国加里福尼亚州旧金山市的化学家、防辐射研究室科学工作者威尔亚姆·希帕曼发现蜂毒具有抗辐射能力。事情是这样开始的,这个学者有一个11岁的女儿,她想养蜜蜂。希帕曼用25美元给女儿买了一箱蜂,但是他自己很快也被蜜蜂吸引住了。他与一位放射生物学家列奥纳特·高莱开始研究蜂毒能否防辐射。两名学者用了8个月的时间研究蜂毒对小白鼠的影响。把一组小白鼠作氯化钠蜂毒溶液的皮下注射,然后把它们放进隔离室用X射线(伦琴射线)照射24小时,伦琴射线 Weir Yam Hippamman, a chemist and radiation research scientist at San Francisco, California, found that bee venom has radioresistance. This is what happened, this scholar has an 11-year-old daughter, she wants to keep bees. Hipparman bought a box of bees for $ 25 for his daughter, but he himself was quickly attracted to the bees. He started working with Leonard Gaulle, a radiobiologist, on whether or not the bee venom can be protected from radiation. Two scholars spent eight months studying the effects of bee venom on mice. A group of mice were subcutaneously injected with a solution of sodium chloride bee venom and then placed in an isolation room for 24 hours by X-ray (x-ray)
