The greatest risk of using BVT as a medical treatment is anaphylactic shock, which is a severe allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention. If you are stung by a bee for any reason and have trouble breathing, or feel faint or unwell, seek immediate medical attention at your nearest hospital. For this reason, patients who are considering BVT are carefully profiled before being administered bee venom. Most importantly they must cleanse their body of beta blockers, which suppress the immune system, and any anti-inflammatory drugs, including alcoholic beverages. Like any medical treatments, they are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, diet, exercise, and emotional balance or the care of a medical professional.
