AB Arthropods  are  defined  by  an  exoskeleton,  segmented  body,  and  jointed  appendages.  Arthropods  causing  local  and  systemic  reactions  associated  with  their  bites:  Arachnida,  Chilopoda,  Diplopoda,  and  Insecta.Cutaneous  reactions  to  arthropod  bites  are  inflammatory  and/or  allergic  reactions.Characterized  by  an  intensely  pruritic  eruption  at  the  bite  sites,  whether  immediately  or  minutes  to  hours  to  days  after  the  bite,  persisting  for  days  to  weeks,  manifested  by  solitary  or  grouped:  urticarial  papules;  papulovesicles;  bullae.  Persons  are  often  unaware  of  having  been  bitten.Systemic  symptoms  may  occur,  ranging  from  mild  to  severe,  with  death  occurring  from  anaphylactic  shock.Arthropods  are  vectors  of  many  systemic  infections.
