Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2017
Venomous aquatic animals are hazardous to swimmers, surfers, divers, and fishermen. Exposures include mild stings, bites, abrasions, and lacerations. Severe envenomations can be life threatening. This article reviews common marine envenomations, exploring causative species, clinical presentation, and current treatment recommendations.

Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2014
Envenomation by reptiles, spiders, and insects are a common worldwide occurrence. Tens of thousands of bites occur each year, with most victims seeking treatment in emergency rooms. Many envenomations, however, occur in environments where athletes train and compete. As a result, sports physicians may find themselves on the front lines of treating bites

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1983
Venomous reptiles are distributed in select habitats in temperate and tropical areas of the world with few geographical exceptions, and have adapted to not only terrestial existence, but to arboreal and aquatic environments as well. Venomous snakes are found in the families Colubridae (fixed and rear fanged snakes), Elapidae (fixed and front fang ...

Venoms and toxins are of significant interest due to their ability to cause a wide range of pathophysiological conditions that can potentially result in death. Despite their wide distribution among plants and animals, the biochemical pathways associated with these pathogenic agents remain largely unexplored.

Pediatrics, 1980
A potentially lethal neurotoxin-producing scorpion, Centruroides sculpturatus, exists in the southwestern United States. The most common symptoms of envenomation of 24 patients included local pain, restlessness, and roving eye movements. In this series 80% of cases were in children less than 10 years of age.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1987
Correct and immediate care can significantly reduce the debilitating effects of Scorpaenidae evenomation. The lack of immediate heat application to the wound in our case report may have contributed to the complications and eventual loss of motion in the affected area, since the toxic ingredient, a nondialyzable protein, remained active.

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2002
Lionfish (Pterois volitans) are venomous fish most often found as aquarium pets throughout the United States. Lionfish envenomations frequently occur on the upper extremities, with pain as the predominant symptom. Immersing the injured part in warm (45 degrees C) water is considered the first and foremost important treatment as it is reported to ...

Southern Medical Journal, 1986
We treated 18 patients who had Crotalidae envenomation between January 1980 and September 1984. Primary antivenin therapy minimized morbidity and obviated mortality. More specificially, judicious though quantitatively sufficient antivenin therapy made surgical intervention unnecessary.

Medical Journal of Australia, 1989
Over a 12-year period, 61 patients were admitted to a metropolitan hospital on 67 occasions with envenomation from snakes, spiders, ticks or bees. We describe the epidemiology of the bites and the patient's response to treatment. First aid was used in only 50% of patients with potentially-lethal bites.

[Extract] As emergency physicians who currently or recently have worked in emergency departments in tropical Australia, we must compliment the Editors on their recent series on tropical emergency medicine in the December 2000 edition. They discussed clinical issues that may be seen rarely in caital cities in Australia but are common problems to ...
