Arthropod 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.
节肢动物叮咬和蜇伤可能会引起剧痛，有时疼痛程度与损伤大小不成比例。先前的接触和抗体的积累可能会引发严重反应。如果医生熟悉罕见叮咬和蜇伤的影响，通常可以根据临床表现做出诊断。一些罕见的叮咬，如猎蝽叮咬，可以进行对症治疗，但其他一些，如毒蝎叮咬，则需要抗蛇毒血清治疗。
