  • Toxicologically, there is far more diversity in spider venoms than in the venoms of Hymenoptera and scorpions, so that the correct identification of spider bites has special significance

  • Spiders are rarely correctly identified by bite victims or their physicians and are readily transported by human commerce out of their native range

  • There are stellar reviews of the toxicology of arthropod venoms and poisons 1, 2 , as well as an excellent quick guide to bites and stings of arthropods 3

  • BITE VS

  • STING In discussing human envenomation incidents, quite often both the lay and medical communities use the words "bite" and "sting" interchangeably, even in the same sentence, to describe one mode of venom injection

  • In the strict sense, "bite" describes venom injected via structures associated with the mouth such as fangs or mandibles and "sting" connotes the injection of venom via a tapered, posterior structure most accurately called a sting (or colloquially, stinger)

  • BITES AND STINGS About 45, 000 people are bitten by snakes every year in the United States

  • More than half of the poisonous snakebites involve children, and most occur between April and October

  • Of the poisonous bites in the United States, 55 percent are from rattlesnakes, 34 percent from copperheads, 10 percent from water moccasins, and onepercent from coral snakes

  • Rattlesnake bites account for 70 percent of the fatalities and between 95 and 98 percent of the bites occur on extremities

  • Each year the Samaritan Regional Poison Center has more than 65 calls about rattlesnake bites

  • Baby rattlesnakes are capable of a venomous bite from birth

  • Nonpoisonous snakebites are not considered serious and are generally treated as minor wounds; only poisonous snakebites are considered medical emergencies

  • Symptoms generally occur immediately, but only about one third of all bites manifest symptoms

  • In 50 percent of coral snake bites, no venom is injected because the coral snake has to chew the skin for envenomation to occur

  • In as many as 25 percent of all venomous pit viper bites, no venom is injected, possibly because the fangs may be injured, the venom sacs may be empty at the time of the bite, or the snake may not use the fangs when it strikes

  • In fact, there is no good first aid for rattlesnake bite

  • Almost all cases of amputation after snakebite are actually the result of using ice, a tourniquet or both

  • If you're not in an area where snakebite is common, insist that the doctors call the Regional Poison Control Center (listed on the inside cover of the phone book)

  • Still, that is usually preferable to the effects of untreated snakebite

  • Boyer said, 'It's a lousy, stinking product that causes a lot of problems, but there's nothing else around.' The cure for snakebite is to avoid it

  • A rattlesnake can bite up to an hour after decapitation

  • A 'spasm' from a dead snake will reflexively deliver the full load of venom and can be worse than a live snakebite
