Applying onion juice to a bee sting can also have a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. However, individual experiences may vary and it's always best to seek medical advice if a bee sting reaction is severe.

Bee venom immunotherapy involves gradually exposing a person to increasing amounts of bee venom through injections or sublingual tablets.

The therapy is typically administered over a few months to several years, depending on the person's response.
Are cut onions dangerous?
Cut onions are not inherently dangerous. However, they can release compounds that can cause eye irritation and tearing when chopped or sliced, so it's important to take precautions such as wearing goggles or cutting them under running water to minimize this effect. Additionally, cut onions can potentially harbor bacteria if left at room temperature for too long, so it's best to store them in the refrigerator if not using immediately.
