Insect allergy desensitization is indicated when there is evidence of anaphylaxis after getting insect sting and confirmed by allergy testing. Similar to allergy shots, it is done by gradually introduce small amount of insect venoms underneath the skin gradually over time. By doing this, it would induce tolerance to the allergic stinging insect so you would not develop another systemic and dangerous reaction if got stung again. After finishing the shot program for 3-5 years, you are usually protected for life.
