ABSTRACT:
The apparatus has an elongated body (6) having an open end (7) in a plane (8) which is pressed against the surface (2A) of the skin (2) around a location that has been stung by a sting (1) which has caused venom to diffuse (5) in the skin. The end is pressed in such a manner as to enable a heater element (9) set back from the opening (7) to apply a heat flux to the skin lying in the range 0.03 W/mm.sup.2 and 0.30 W/mm.sup.2 such that the penetration (2B) of the heat into the skin heats up the skin to between 50.degree. C. and 60.degree.0 C., thereby destroying the venom.
