Some spider bites, like those of the or brown recluse, are also serious and can be life-threatening

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)
Except the carpenter bee, all insects shown are social, and create nests inhabited mostly by sterile workers
PFD BITES AND STINGS!
Introduction and guide from the City of Phoenix, Arizona on snake, insect, gila
monster and africanized honey bee bites.
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

Finally, we often aid in this way even the heathen, seeing we have been endowed by God with that power which the apostle first used when he despised the viper's bite

The practices of physicians ranging from embalming to faith healing to surgery
and autopsy.
It would not be unusual for a patient to receive a bandage for a dog bite, for example, a paste of berries and honey and a incantation said over the wound as well as a magical amulet for the patient to wear
Insect, especially scorpion bites or snake bites, both very frequent in Egypt, were treated by magicians, as there appears to have been no specific balm or ointment used, and as we have records of many spells, written on papyri and magical charms devoted to these two occurrences

Bites from any of the, even the most potent rattlesnakes, rarely result in death
Don't use a snakebite kit
In fact, there is no good first aid for rattlesnake bite
If you must do something, she said, 'elevate and immobilize the limb, rest quietly, and don't freak out.' Most of the popular literature on snakebite is out of date, and some hospital emergency-room physicians may still attempt to use ice
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
