This is a non-interventional observational study consisting of two components.

Study 1: Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
Patients who previously received venom immunotherapy (VIT) at Sagamihara National Hospital or Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center will be retrospectively evaluated using medical records. Data on VIT administration, adverse events, systemic allergic reactions following subsequent Hymenoptera stings, and long-term clinical outcomes will be collected. In addition, a questionnaire survey will be conducted among contactable patients to assess quality of life, anxiety related to Hymenoptera stings, and employment status after treatment.

Study 2: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey
An anonymous two-stage web-based survey will be conducted among individuals aged 20-64 years in Japan. The first stage will assess the prevalence of Hymenoptera stings. The second stage will target respondents who experienced Hymenoptera stings within the past five years and will assess the prevalence of anaphylaxis, healthcare utilization, diagnosis of venom allergy, awareness of VIT, and willingness to receive VIT. Stratified analyses will be performed according to occupation, geographic region, age, and sex.
