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.

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.

As more Americans travel in greater numbers in search of exotic destinations, they may encounter dangerous marine life that hide in reefs and shallow marine waters. In this case report, we describe a case of stonefish envenomation and provide a review of the literature on management and prevention.

Every year, more than 1 million cases of scorpion envenomation are reported worldwide. Although the resultant mortality is lower than that from snake envenomation, there is substantial morbidity and, among children, a risk of death. Almost all systemic scorpion envenomation causes pain at the site of the sting.

Thrombotic microangiopathy from Australian brown snake (Pseudonaja) envenoming
Internal Medicine Journal, 2007 Background: Australian brown snake (genus Pseudonaja) envenoming causes a venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy (VICC). A proportion of cases go on to develop thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic haemolytic ...

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.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2014
This article describes the epidemiology and presentation of human envenomation from marine organisms. Venom pathophysiology, envenomation presentation, and treatment options are discussed for sea snake, stingray, spiny fish, jellyfish, octopus, cone snail, sea urchin, and sponge envenomation. The authors describe the management of common exposures that

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 ...
