Bites and Stings
Head into Jovive Health when you need quick treatment for bites and stings.
Bee stings and bug bites are a part of life. And while most reactions are mild, others require professional medical attention. Spiders, mosquitoes, snakes, bees, wasps, ticks and other bugs can inject venom or transfer proteins through their saliva that cause symptoms at the site of the bite.
Suffered a spider bite on your camping trip or got stung by a honey bee out in the garden?
