Suggest Remedy For Bee Sting Allergy
Question: My brother has severe allergies against bee stings and the doctors told him if he doesn't get treated next time it happens he won't come back I need to find out if there is a cure or a medication called Viper wasp venom
Brief Answer:
There is immunotherapy for bee sting allergy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
The immediate treatment for a bee sting allergy is to use an emergency Epi-pen (which your brother should keep with him) followed by a dose of Benadryl and then to go to the ER immediately.
But I think you are asking about a cure. I could not find anything about Viper Wasp Venom. To prevent or a greatly decrease a severe bee sting allergic reaction, your brother can see an allergist for immunotherapy. The allergist can order a series of bee allergy shots given over time which can greatly reduce the severity of future reactions.
I hope this information helps.

I need some more information. "Apis mellifera" where and how can I perches this medication
Brief Answer:
That is the Latin name for a particular type of honey bee.
Detailed Answer:
What you asked about - apis mellifera - is the scientific name for the Western Honey Bee. My guess is that you are looking for a product? There is also a Homeopathic preparation by this name. You can try a local Homeopathic apothecary/pharmacy to ask if they carry it. You can google Homeopathic Pharmacy to find one near you.
You can try using this homeopathic preparation, but if your brother is stung by a bee and has a history of severe reaction, I really think he will need to use an Epi-Pen and Benadryl immediately.
