If it progresses without any reaction, treatment is started which consists of applying apitoxin whose dose varies depending on the case in strategic areas of the body.
There are people who do not want to feel the sting of the bee, for these patients there are apitoxin injectables that are manufactured in Colombia and Argentina.
