This article focuses on the medically relevant arachnid species found in North America and selected other arachnids from around the world. While it is largely still true that the geographic location of the envenomation assists in determining the species responsible, the booming trade in arachnids as exotic pets should prompt the clinician to inquire ...

AbstractSnake bite envenomation typically requires treatment with effective first aid and antivenom. There is a spectrum of envenomation seen, which includes mild envenomation, but this has not been reported previously. We report two cases of mild envenomation and describe the changes in laboratory coagulation values. The patients had a benign clinical

Millions of arthropods surround us every day, but only a few are medically harmful. Knowledge of the habits and habitats of known venomous arthropods is certainly advisable for the prudent person in areas of known infestation as a preventive measure. Arthropod envenomations probably produce much less mortality than previously thought, but the potential

Humans have interacted with arachnids since their prehistoric trip from the Garden of Eden. Modern travel has placed both patient and physician in contact with creatures and diseases far outside the scope of our day-to-day medical practice. The understanding of life cycles and toxicity of these fascinating spiders and scorpions better prepares the ...

Jellyfish envenomation syndromes
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1986Jellyfish venoms are complex mixtures of polypeptides and enzymes pathogenic to man by means of their toxic or antigenic properties. With newer technology, more therapeutic agents will become available to treat the various envenomation syndromes caused by these animals.

Over 5000 Americans suffer from snake bites annually, and of these, nearly one quarter are from poisonous species. Although these cases are undeniably reported, death appears to occur in only a few cases each year, and often reflects delay in obtaining medical care.

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1983
As man takes increasing advantage of the waters of the world for recreational, commercial and scientific purposes, the hazards of human contact with inhabitants must be appreciated. Many invertebrate and vertebrate animal species have developed natural defense mechanisms, some of which involve envenomation, with a few species posing the threat of ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice
Snakebite envenomation (SBE) in horses can have devastating outcomes. Tissue damage, cardiotoxicity, coagulopathy, and neurotoxicity can be concerns with SBE. Understanding the actions of venom components is important in developing a successful treatment plan. Antivenom is the mainstay of treatment.
