Bee Venom; Antinociceptive and Anti-inflammatory?

I remember reading an article earlier in the semester that used Bee Venom as an alternative treatment for patients suffering with MS. Now it's potentially helpful in arthritis?
The paper "Bee Venom Pretreatment Has Both an Antinociceptive and Anti-inflammatory Effect of Carrageenan-Induced Inflammation", Lee et.al. provided some very interesting informmation that under normal conditions, bee venom is nociceptive. This statement seems very vague for reasons as follows. Does the bee venom have to bee administered directly to the site of inflammation or does it have peripheral effects as well? I was under the impression that there is most likely always inflammation occurring somewhere in every person at any given time so would this deter the bulk of individuals from being under normal conditions?
On another note, I would like to thank SarahD for better defining Fos and Carrageenan (CR); I wasn't too sure what they were, so thanks for clearing that up.
Researchers used CR to induce inflammation in rat models proceeding Bee Venom injection. To my surprise they acutally found that bee venom was successful in suppressing inflammation; aside from creating a small response of its own such as irriation at the injection site, etc.
It just tickles me to think that cures for some common diseases could be right under our noses or in our gardens.
