| | Bee venom has long been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various kinds of rheumatism. | | | The diseases and problems which have been reported by patients or doctors as improved or healed with bee venom therapy are listed below (Table 7.2). | | | But venom is also used in killing prey (as with some wasps or spiders) or for immobilizing and preserving prey (for their own or their developing offspring's consumption). |

| | Venom immobilizes the prey when injected into its body, and in some cases initiates the digestive process by beginning the breakdown of the preys tissues. | | | Venom components are also used in basic research in physiology, biochemistry, and immunology. | | | The venom duct is surrounded by small masses of glandular tissue, the accessory glands, which may act as valves to regulate the flow of venom to the fang. |

| | Whatever the mechanism, the purpose of the venom is usually to immobilize the victim and start the process of digestion, much as human saliva does. | | | The soft-scaled viper carries a type of venom known as hemotoxin, a venom that attacks the circulatory system and causes blood to clot severely or else to stop clotting entirely, either of which can be fatal. | | | Venomous snakes can be found in nearly every state in the nation, and about 8,000 people suffer bites every year. |

| | The venom of snakes is a complex subject due to the different types of snakes and the makeup of their different venoms. | | | Their venom differ (see more about Black Widow Spiders, Brown Recluse Spiders and Brown Recluse Bites) but these spiders have one important thing in common: their bites are angled in such a way as to puncture human skin and to deliver their toxins into our system. | | | The venom has a two-fold purpose: to aid in the capture of prey and as a self defense mechanism. |

| | An allergic reaction to an insect bite or sting is a hypersensitivity to insect venom or salivary protein. | | | Insect bite allergies appear just as frequently in people with allergies as in people who are otherwise allergy-free. | | | If an insect attack seems imminent, susceptible people should not swat at the bugs or flail their arms, but rather retreat slowly, keep calm, and make no sudden movement. |

| | Allergy & Asthma Disease Management Center: Ask the Expert: Insect Stings and Bites |
| | We reviewed the current status of what is known about the management of individuals with a history of insect allergy but negative venom skin test results and suggested modifications of current working guidelines. | | | Venom immunotherapy in children leads to a significantly lower risk of systemic reaction to stings even 10 to 20 years after treatment is stopped, and this prolonged benefit is greater than the benefit seen in adult. | | | I would approach the situation by explaining the current experience to the patient and the need for likely 4-5 years treatment if immunotherapy is started. |

| | Allergic Reactions and Anaphylaxis Information from the distributor of EpiPen® Epinephrine Auto-Injectors |
| | Insect venom allergies are common, especially allergies to members of the Hymenoptera order of insects. | | | An estimated 40 to 100 deaths due to anaphylaxis caused by insect venom are reported each year, half of which are attributed to fire ants, an increasingly common pest that is spreading throughout the United States. | | | Usually once you have experienced an allergic response you are likely to experience a subsequent response when exposed to the insect culprit, but the severity of the response can vary. |

| | Topical anti-histamines and anesthetics are for quick temporary relief of insect bites; hydrocortisone cream has slower onset, but longer effect. | | | In sensitive individuals, a systemic or "whole body" reaction occurs, with redness, hives (itchy raised skin lumps), and swelling far away from the sting site. | | | Cover as much of your skin as possible when working or playing in grassy or wooded areas. |

| | The intradermal skin test is the most reliable test for venom allergy. | | | Skin testing with pure insect venoms is used to demonstrate the presence of specific IgE antibodies which are involved in the allergic reaction and will identify the offending insect when the patient is unsure whether he or she was stung by a bee or a wasp. | | | Although venom sensitivity differs between individuals and the dosage schedule may have to be adjusted to suit the individual patient the majority of patients follow a standard program which consists of a series of 12-15 weekly subcutaneous injections of increasing amounts of pure venom administered on an out-patient basis. |

| | A diagnosis of stinging insect allergy is based on clinical history, with confirmation by detection of insect venom- specific IgE by skinprick tests with diluted specific venom extract or by serological testing. | | | We do not yet have all the answers, but if therapies currently available are used in a timely and appropriate manner no patient should die of a known insect sting allergy. | | | Atopic individuals are at no greater risk than non-atopic individuals of developing IgE-mediated anaphylaxis in response to insect bites or drugs. |

| | However, when the person is stung again, the insect venom entering the body combines with the antibody, produced by the first sting, which triggers a series of internal reactions, resulting in severe allergic symptoms. | | | It is estimated that between one and two million people in the United States are severely allergic to stinging insect venom. | | | Unlike most other allergies, insect allergy can cause a life-threatening disruption to breathing and circulatory systems called anaphylactic shock. |
