Find Relief WITH venom Desensitization

Immunotherapy, also known as desensitization, stands as a highly effective approach for treating severe allergies to bee and wasp stings. This treatment is typically recommended for individuals who have experienced severe reactions and continue to be at significant risk of future stings.

The objective of immunotherapy is to markedly diminish the intensity of allergic responses to subsequent stings. This is achieved by administering controlled, small doses of the allergen (the substance that triggers the allergic reaction) at carefully planned intervals.

For those experiencing severe allergies, this form of treatment can be a significant consideration, despite the commitment to regular weekly and monthly sessions. As the therapy advances, it often leads to a reduction in outdoor-related anxiety, providing a sense of security even when an epinephrine pen isn’t immediately available.

Our venom desensitization program is directed by our board-certified, highly experienced allergist. As a result, our treatment program is highly effective (85-95%) and the majority of patients will benefit

Venom Desensitization & immunotherapy provide treatment for common insects

While allergy injections yield impressive outcomes for numerous patients, it’s crucial to understand that immunotherapy isn’t a universal solution for all individuals or types of venom allergies. Patients  should have clear expectations regarding the timeline and process of desensitization.

Venom immunotherapy can treat allergies to stings from:

  • Honey bees
  • Yellow jackets
  • Wasps
  • Hornets

Based on your specific allergy profile, venom desensitization therapy may involve injections with insect-specific venom or a combination of venoms targeting multiple stinging insect allergies. A healthcare professional can conduct diagnostic tests to determine the most effective venom immunotherapy tailored to your needs.
