Toxic effect of venom of wasps, intentional self-harm, init

This diagnosis code signifies a patient presenting with adverse systemic effects resulting from the deliberate self-administration of wasp venom. This indicates a purposeful act of self-poisoning using the toxins found in wasp stings, leading to a toxic reaction.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that a patient intentionally exposed themselves to wasp venom, such as by provoking multiple stings, with the intent to cause harm. This would be used for the initial encounter where the patient is actively being treated for the acute toxic effects.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "intentional self-harm" or similar language indicating deliberate self-poisoning.
• Confirm this is the first time the patient is being seen for this specific episode of self-harm.
• Do not use for accidental stings or assault; those scenarios require different intent codes.
