Immune therapy
Escape from fire ant venom
During this time, I read a book made up of short stories. So talk of ant venom have been described, I'm trying to make a post about what was interesting.
Nothing can completely neutralize the effects of fire-ant venom, but people sensitive to it who live in fire-ant territory have some treatment choices. Immunotherapy is currently the best option for minimalizing reactions. It consists of a series of injections administered of a regular schedule. At first, patients receive very small amounts of fire-ant venom that their bodies can tolerate. With each injection, the amount of venom is increased, which causes the person's body to start building up resistance to it. Eventually, patients have sufficient defenses to tolerate a fire-ant sting. The immune therapy regime is expensive, and it also requires a long-term commitment. Doctors estimate that treatments will take as long as two years.
The reason why this content is interesting, I am, because I first heard the word “fire ant poison”. I could not even imagine it would be poison to ants that we have not seen many times in the eyes only. And, for a long time is required research on the formulation of immunotherapy, it was impressive longer than I thought also time for treatment.
