Some myths and controversies regarding allergy to insect stings have been resolved through research, and venom immunotherapy now has an important place in the prevention of life-threatening reactions to stings. Both children and adults who had cardiovascular and/or respiratory reactions to their most recent sting are candidates for this treatment, which should be discontinued at the end of 5 years (or sooner, if venom skin tests or radioallergosorbent tests are negative).
一些关于昆虫叮咬过敏的误区和争议已通过研究得到解决，毒液免疫疗法如今在预防叮咬引发的危及生命的反应方面占据重要地位。对最近一次叮咬出现心血管和/或呼吸道反应的儿童和成人都是这种治疗的适用对象，该治疗应在5年结束时（如果毒液皮肤试验或放射变应原吸附试验呈阴性，则可提前）停止。
