Envenomation usually results in local pain, mild erythema, swelling, and pruritus. Severe systemic or toxic reactions may occur from one or multiple stings, manifesting as gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, pyrexia, muscle spasms, or seizures. Anaphylaxis may occur within minutes from a single sting and may cause death from airway obstruction and/or cardiovascular collapse. A serum sickness–type reaction may occur 7 to 14 days after envenomation. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1181051012 ER -
