Walt Barricklow asks about interaction of bee venom with certain cardiac
medications, including cordarone and coumadin.

Unless a cardiologist on the list replies to your question, Walt, I would go
consult one, probably the one who diagnosed your arrythmia.

For what it's worth, I have been taking both the above drugs for years, and
have been stung many times (on one unfortunate occasion, by at least 300
bees) and have had no reaction either to the stings or from the drugs.

I know that individuals may have vastly different reactions to the same
stimulus, so my immunity from reactions may not be true in your case.  Go
see your doctor.
