    In this episode we explore allergies to bee and wasp stings, covering symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Discover effective strategies for managing allergic reactions as Simon and expert Dr. Andrew Whyte discuss the importance of allergy testing, immunotherapy and emergency response.

    Dr. Andrew Whyte, a specialist at the Department of Allergy and Immunology at Derriford Hospital, provides care to patients with immunodeficiency and allergies across the South West Peninsula. Along with his colleagues at the Eden Unit, Dr. Whyte oversees UKAS-accredited immunology laboratories at Derriford Hospital and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, offering expert advice and guidance to healthcare providers throughout the region.

    Please note that Emerade adrenaline auto-injectors are no longer available. All individuals with allergies should now carry either EpiPen or Jext auto-injectors at all times.
