Hi,
The homeopathic remedy apis in 6x or 30x may be useful. It's taken sublingualy, under the tongue without food or water for at least a half hour before or after. No mint, caffeine or strong flavors also helpful to prevent antidoting the remedy. If you see a homeopath she or he can prescribe a stronger dose. My daughter used to get horrible blisters from poison ivy that looked liked 3rd degree burns and the homeopath prescribed apis. Propolis tincture from gaia herbs may also be useful. The faster the stingers removed the less venom gets into the system, as it will pump for up to 90 seconds.

We've discussed this in my household extensively. As it happens, my wife is a research immunologist working in dermatology. Her advice is surprisingly simple: put ice on the stings as soon as possible for as long as you can stand it. She insists that there is no better remedy.
I don't understand all the jargon, but apparently, treating the area with ice slows or stops the chain reaction of events that happens with any immune response. Apparently, over the long term, moderating your body's immune response to a sting is your best bet against developing an allergy to apitoxin.
