Find Lasting Relief With Venom Desensitization
Immunotherapy, also referred to as desensitization, is one of the most effective treatments available for individuals with severe allergies to bee or wasp stings. It is especially recommended for those who have previously experienced serious allergic reactions and remain at high risk of future exposure.
The primary goal of this therapy is to significantly reduce the severity of allergic responses to future stings. This is accomplished by gradually introducing small, controlled amounts of the allergen into the body at regular intervals, allowing the immune system to build tolerance and respond less aggressively over time.

For individuals with severe allergies, venom immunotherapy can be a life-changing treatment option. Although it requires a commitment to regular weekly and monthly sessions, the benefits are substantial. As treatment progresses, many patients experience greater peace of mind and a noticeable reduction in anxiety about outdoor activities, even when an epinephrine pen is not immediately at hand.
Our venom desensitization program is overseen by a board-certified allergist with extensive experience in allergy and immunology. This therapy has proven to be highly effective, with an 85–95% success rate, and most patients achieve significant, lasting protection from severe allergic reactions.
Venom Desensitization & Immunotherapy Provide Treatment for Common Insects
While allergy injections deliver outstanding results for many patients, it is important to recognize that immunotherapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment for every individual or type of venom allergy. Setting realistic expectations about the timeline and process of desensitization is an essential part of achieving successful results.
Venom Immunotherapy Can Treat Allergies Caused by:
- Honey bees
- Yellow jackets
- Wasps
- Hornets
Depending on your specific allergy profile, venom desensitization therapy may include injections using insect-specific venom or a carefully formulated combination that targets multiple stinging insect allergies. A qualified allergist can perform detailed diagnostic testing to identify your sensitivities and design a customized treatment plan that provides the greatest protection and long-term relief.
