Most people seem to have a visceral fear of snakes, spiders, scorpions, and insects out of proportion to the actual danger they pose. The vast majority of bites and stings cause little more than local pain and never require medical attention. Nevertheless, physicians who work in the emergency department must be prepared to treat the few patients who present with anaphylactic reactions to Hymenoptera stings, as well as to recognize and treat those rare individuals who receive severe envenomation from poisonous snakes, spiders, or scorpions.
大多数人似乎对蛇、蜘蛛、蝎子和昆虫有一种出自本能的恐惧，这种恐惧与它们实际造成的危险不成比例。绝大多数的叮咬和蜇伤只会引起局部疼痛，根本不需要就医。然而，在急诊科工作的医生必须做好准备，治疗少数因膜翅目昆虫蜇伤而出现过敏反应的患者，同时要识别并治疗那些罕见的因毒蛇、蜘蛛或蝎子严重中毒的患者。
