If necessary remove the spine.

Additionally, it is possible to apply moist saline compresses over the ointment applied in a thick layer.
Alternatively, local antihistamines such as dimetinden (e.g. Fenistil Gel) can be used. In case of system reactions, therapy appropriate to the stage of anaphylactic shock. A specific immunotherapy with wasp venom is possible.
