AbstractArthropod bites and stings may cause intense pain, sometimes out of proportion to the size of the lesion. Severe reactions may arise from prior exposure and buildup of antibodies. Diagnosis often can be made from the clinical presentation if the physician is familiar with the effects of the uncommon bites and stings. Some uncommon bites, such as those of reduviids, can be treated symptomatically, but others, such as those of poisonous scorpions, call for antivenin therapy.
