  • Spider Bites
    Infectious Disease Epidemiology Section Office of Public Health, Louisiana Dept of Health & Hospitals 800-256-2748 (24 hr number) www.infectiousdisease.dhh.louisiana.gov SPIDER BITES Revised 6/13/2007 Epidemiology There are over 3,000 species of spiders native to the United States. Due to fragility or inadequate length of fangs, only a limited number of species are capable of inflicting noticeable wounds on human beings, although several small species of spiders are able to bite humans, but with little or no demonstrable effect. The final determination of etiology of 80% of suspected spider bites in the U.S. is, in fact, an alternate diagnosis. Therefore the perceived risk of spider bites far exceeds actual risk. Tick bites, chemical burns, lesions from poison ivy or oak, cutaneous anthrax, diabetic ulcer, erythema migrans from Lyme disease, erythema from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, sporotrichosis, Staphylococcus infections, Stephens Johnson syndrome, syphilitic chancre, thromboembolic effects of Leishmaniasis, toxic epidermal necrolyis, shingles, early chicken pox lesions, bites from other arthropods and idiopathic dermal necrosis have all been misdiagnosed as spider bites. Almost all bites from spiders are inflicted by the spider in self defense, when a human inadvertently upsets or invades the spider’s space. Of spiders in the United States capable of biting, only a few are considered dangerous to human beings. Bites from the following species of spiders can result in serious sequelae: Louisiana Office of Public Health – Infectious Disease Epidemiology Section Page 1 of 14 The Brown Recluse: Loxosceles reclusa Photo Courtesy of the Texas Department of State Health Services The most common species associated with medically important spider bites: • Physical characteristics o Length: Approximately 1 inch o Appearance: A violin shaped mark can be visualized on the dorsum (top).

Abstract Medications that inhibit aldehyde dehydrogenase when coadministered with alcohol produce accumulation of acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde toxic effects are characterized by facial flushing, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia and hypotension, symptoms known as acetaldehyde syndrome, disulfiram-like reactions or antabuse effects. Severe and even fatal outcomes are reported. Besides the aversive drugs used in alcohol dependence disulfiram and cyanamide (carbimide), several other pharmaceutical agents are known to produce alcohol intolerance, such as certain anti-infectives, as cephalosporins, nitroimidazoles and furazolidone, dermatological preparations, as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, as well as chlorpropamide and nilutamide. The reactions are also observed in some individuals after the simultaneous use of products containing alcohol and disulfiram-like reactions inducers.

Nowadays, however, they can occur in urban areas also. Lakhs of people every year are bitten or stung by someone or something. These emergencies include bites and stings due to various reasons. These bites or stings need to be identified and treated early as they affect some part or the whole of the body which can cause mild, moderate or severe reaction and can even be life-threatening. Most are not medical emergencies but however, treatment is usually required if there is bleeding, wounds or infection. All bites and stings are not same. Different First Aid treatment and care is needed depending on the type of insect or animal that has caused the bite. Some species are more dangerous and cause more harm compared to others. Hence, in this unit we shall discuss the different types of bites and stings, causes, recognition and first aid in these situations.

KEYWORDS: Summary The class Arachnida of the phylum Arthropoda comprises an estimated 100,000 species Spider bite; worldwide. However, only a handful of these species can cause clinical effects in humans because many Black widow; are unable to penetrate the skin, whereas others only inject prey-specific venom. The bite from a widow Brown recluse spider will produce local symptoms that include muscle spasm and systemic symptoms that resemble acute abdomen. The bite from a brown recluse locally will resemble a target lesion but will develop into an ulcerative, necrotic lesion over time. Spider bites can be prevented by several simple measures including home cleanliness and wearing the proper attire while working outdoors. Although most spider bites cause only local tissue swelling, early species identification coupled with species-specific man- agement may decrease the rate of morbidity associated with bites. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

  • Summary of Reported Animal Bites, 2019 Allegheny County, PA
    Summary of Reported Animal Bites, 2019 Allegheny County, PA Prepared by S. Grace Hutko, BS Graduate School of Public Health University of Pittsburgh Kristen Mertz, MD, MPH Infectious Disease Epidemiology Program Allegheny County Health Department L. Renee Miller, BS, BSN, RN Immunization Program Allegheny County Health Department February 2021 Introduction Rabies, a viral zoonotic disease that is nearly always fatal, is a significant global public health concern.1 Worldwide, rabies causes tens of thousands of deaths every year, with dog bites responsible for 99% of human cases.2 In the United States, however, most rabies is found in wild animals, such as bats and raccoons, and there are only one or two human cases per year. In Pennsylvania, there have not been any cases of human rabies since 1984.1 The low incidence of human rabies in the US is attributed to a robust public health surveillance and testing system, widespread availability of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and rabies vaccination for pets.3 In Pennsylvania, all healthcare providers are required by law to report animal bites.4 In the event a domestic animal bites a human, the animal is placed on in-home quarantine, usually for a period of ten days, and monitored for signs of rabies. If the animal is already deceased, the owner is asked to submit the animal for testing. If the animal is unavailable for observation or testing, or tests positive for rabies, the victim is directed to seek medical care to receive PEP. PEP includes rabies immune globulin given on day 0 and rabies vaccine given on days 0, 3, 7, and 14 after being evaluated by a healthcare provider.

  • Venom Evolution Widespread in Fishes: a Phylogenetic Road Map for the Bioprospecting of Piscine Venoms

WHEELER From the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology, Columbia University, 1200 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027 (Leo Smith); Division of Vertebrate Zoology (Ichthyology), American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192 (Leo Smith); and Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192 (Wheeler). Address correspondence to W. L. Smith at the address above, or e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Knowledge of evolutionary relationships or phylogeny allows for effective predictions about the unstudied characteristics of species. These include the presence and biological activity of an organism’s venoms. To date, most venom bioprospecting has focused on snakes, resulting in six stroke and cancer treatment drugs that are nearing U.S. Food and Drug Administration review. Fishes, however, with thousands of venoms, represent an untapped resource of natural products. The first step in- volved in the efficient bioprospecting of these compounds is a phylogeny of venomous fishes. Here, we show the results of such an analysis and provide the first explicit suborder-level phylogeny for spiny-rayed fishes. The results, based on ;1.1 million aligned base pairs, suggest that, in contrast to previous estimates of 200 venomous fishes, .1,200 fishes in 12 clades should be presumed venomous.

  • Do I Need to See a Doctor for a Cat Bite?
    For Cat Owners While house cats are generally friendly and make excellent pets, almost all animals have the potential to bite. Some cats may be more aggressive or fearful than others, and therefore more likely to bite. Even the most well-natured cat may bite if it is very frightened or in pain. Over-exuberant play may also result in a bite, particularly in kittens. While cat bites usually cause less physical trauma than dog bites, the potential for serious infection is likely greater with cat bites. Not-So-Nice Pussy Cat Problems Ø It is estimated that 20-50% of cat bite wounds become infected. Usually several different kinds of bacteria are present in a bite wound, some of which can cause very severe infection at the site of the wound, or even enter the bloodstream and spread to other parts of the body. Ø Cat bites can result in deep puncture wounds which may carry bacteria to deeper tissues such as bones and joints. Infection of these tissues can be much more difficult to treat than a superficial flesh wound. What Do I Do If A Cat Bites Me? Ø Immediately wash the wound thoroughly with lots of soap and water. Ø All animal bites, even from your own pet, should be reported to your local public health unit. o Note if the cat that bit you appears healthy or sick. Be sure to tell the public health official when you report the bite: If the cat is behaving strangely, especially if it is a stray cat or one you don’t know, as it could potentially have rabies.
