Professor Robert Pickard of Cardiff University Bee Research Dept. in
Wales, Europe used to tell his students a good story about emergency
treatment for anaphylactic shock reaction.

Apparently the human body can produce adrenalin if shocked or
embarrassed. So one method, if no other is available, is to remove the
patient's clothes in public - if that doesn't work then throw a bucket
of cold water over the patient.  Has anybody actually tried this extreme
treatment ?
