As a rule, bites and stings in travellers are merely a nuisance. But it is sensible to be informed about the more serious possibilities which can result. Systemic diseases can be transmitted, the skin lesions from insects can be troublesome and finally, some bites and stings can cause envenoming. Thus, the bather may be harmed by venomous fish stings, sea urchins, jellyfish and in Asian-Pacific waters by sea-snakes. Land hazards include bites or stings by scorpions, spiders, ticks, centipedes, bees, wasps, caterpillars and snakes. The main clinical features of such bites and stings, including treatment and prevention, are outlined.
一般来说，旅行者遭遇的叮咬和蜇伤只是小麻烦。但了解可能产生的更严重后果是明智的。系统性疾病可能会传播，昆虫造成的皮肤损伤可能会带来麻烦，最后，一些叮咬和蜇伤会导致中毒。因此，游泳者可能会被有毒鱼类的蜇伤、海胆、水母蜇伤，在亚太水域还可能被海蛇蜇伤。陆地危险包括蝎子、蜘蛛、蜱虫、蜈蚣、蜜蜂、黄蜂、毛虫和蛇的叮咬或蜇伤。本文概述了此类叮咬和蜇伤的主要临床特征，包括治疗和预防方法。
