In one of the alternative medical uses of honey bee products, apitherapy, bee venom has been used to treat arthritis and other painful conditions. All currently available evidence supporting this practice is either anecdotal, animal studies, or preliminary evidence, most of which has poor methodology. Apitherapy is not currently accepted as a viable medical treatment for any condition or disease; the risk of allergic reaction and anaphylaxis outweighs any benefits. According to the American Cancer Society, there is no scientific evidence that apitherapy or bee venom therapy can treat or change the course of cancer or any other disease. Clinical trials have shown that apitherapy is ineffective in treating multiple sclerosis or any other disease, and can exacerbate multiple sclerosis symptoms. Treatment
The first step in treatment following a honey bee sting is removal of the stinger itself. The stinger should be removed as quickly as possible without regard to method: a study has shown the amount of venom delivered does not differ whether the sting is pinched or scraped off and even a delay of a few seconds leads to more venom being injected. Once the stinger is removed, pain and swelling should be reduced with a cold compress. A topical anesthetic containing benzocaine will relieve pain quickly and menthol is an effective anti-itch treatment. Itching can also be relieved by antihistamine or by a topical steroid cream.Many traditional remedies have been suggested for bee stings.

Rapid fluid shift due to dialysis
Cardiogenic shock

Severe cardiac arrhythmia, e.g. ventricular fibrillation, sea water poisoning
Failed heart transplant or artificial heart; in those with cardiovascular disease who are just being treated with medical therapy or oxygen, pacing, cardioversion, or defibrillation using an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or else implantation of an intra-aortic balloon pump, or a unilateral or bilateral ventricular assist device, may help matters, as could the use of stenting and/or coronary artery bypass surgery and/or the removal of atherosclerotic plaques. Eventually, a heart transplant or artificial heart may be needed, and these can be replaced when they are no longer performing as well as they did. If necessary, while waiting for a transplant or device, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or mechanical ventilation using a ventilator, or other less invasive methods, can be used to help compensate. If other systems get impaired, renal dialysis, liver dialysis, and artificial nutrition and hydration (including total or partial parenteral nutrition) can also be used. Congenital heart defects
