Bee venom

[Caroline]

From the article:

<During an apitherapy session, she developed wheezing,
dyspnea, and sudden loss of consciousness immediately after
a live bee sting. An ambulance was called, although it took 30
minutes to arrive. The apitherapy clinic personnel administered
methylprednisolone.  No  adrenaline  was  available.  When  
the  ambulance  arrived,  the  patient’s  systolic  pressure  had  
dropped to 42 mmHg and her heart rate had increased to 110
bpm.  Oxygen  saturation  was  not  reported.  Treatment  was  
administered  immediately  and  consisted  of  a  double  dose  
of  adrenaline  (0.5  mg  each),  saline  infusion,  intravenous  
corticosteroids,  and  antihistamines. >

So no, the clinic did not have adrenaline or salbutamol, or even an  anti-histamine: For a clinic administering substances known to cause anaphylaxis, this is disgraceful. Sorry to disagree with you, Caroline.

Cheers

No problem Bill. But I really do have another opinion.
It is not necessary to call them charlatans.
I do agree on the fact that they were not professional enough, but a lot of rheumatologists are not professional enough to treat PsA, still we do not call them charlatans. (might be a swell idea though... )

Cheers,
