Insects, arachnids, and other medically important arthropods affect human health directly by bites, stings, and blisters, and indirectly by disease transmission. In this paper, three widely divergent cases of insect- or arachnid-caused human illness are presented--a spider bite, a mosquito-borne disease case, and an imaginary mite problem. Some key references are included for each topic, as well as editorial comment to add perspective.
