Abstract
Anyone exercising their professional activity in an outdoor environment can develop IgE hypersensitivity to Hymenoptera venom at the place of work, or during the working hours. The prevalence of professional anaphylaxis and mortality associated with Hymenoptera bites appears to be low, but is nevertheless difficult to assess and probably underestimated. Some professions are accepted as risk factors, but preventive measures remain difficult to put in place. Moreover, the impact of an allergy to hymenoptera venoms on professional life is real, and involves the constraint of immunotherapy, work capacity and even the occurrence of post-traumatic stress. Its recognition as a work accident, occupational disease, unfitness for work and incapacity for work may limit the social consequences for patients.
