Insect Venom immunology allergy shots. Toxic?

Any health concerns? Allergy or not their somewhat toxic right? Can long term shots for venoms harm my body?

I would want to get shots for
bees, wasps, hornets, spiders, ants, scorpions, and if possible Man-O-War jelly fish.

Hi,
People who have severe allergies to insect venom should consider receiving insect venom immunotherapy, a highly effective vaccination program that actually prevents future allergic sting reactions in 97% of treated patients. During immunotherapy, the allergist/immunologist administers gradually stronger doses of venom extract initially every week, but as maintenance doses are reached the interval may sometimes be expanded to one month or more.
If you have questions about venom immunotherapy or other treatments for stinging insect allergy, be sure to ask your allergist/immunologist. Patients who receive appropriate treat­ment such as immunotherapy and who practice careful avoidance measures can participate in regular outdoor activities.
A report from the Mayo Clinic on 79,593 immunotherapy injections over a 10-year period showed the incidence of adverse reactions to be less than two-tenths of 1 percent (0.137 percent). Most of the reactions were mild and responded to immediate medical treatment. There were no fatalities.
To promote immunotherapy safety, the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology offers the following guidelines:
Immunotherapy should be prescribed only by an allergist-immunologist or other physician who is expertly trained in the therapy.
Immunotherapy should be administered under the supervision of an allergist-immunologist or other physician specifically trained in immunotherapy, the early signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and appropriate emergency procedures and medications.
Patients must be suitably selected for immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy should be given only in facilities equipped to treat anaphylaxis.
The health status of the patient should be evaluated prior to every injection. Patients who are acutely ill, especially with asthma or respiratory difficulties, should not receive immunotherapy until their disease is stabilized.
Patients should always be asked about current medications prior to immunotherapy, to avoid interactions with beta blockers and other conflicting medications.
Patients must wait at the health care facility a minimum of 20 minutes after an allergen injection. The time period may be extended for high-risk patients.
