外国的赤脚医生手册有关蜘蛛蝎子的记载 (国产的赤脚医生手册对这些记载不多)
SCORPION STING
Some scorpions are far more poisonous than others. To adults, scorpion stings are rarely dangerous. Take aspirin or acetaminophen and if possible put ice on the sting to help calm the pain. For the numbness and pain that sometimes last weeks or months, hot compresses may be helpful (see p. 193). To children under 5 years old, scorpion stings can be dangerous, especially if the sting is on the head or body.In some countries scorpion antitoxin is available (p. 388). To do much good it must be injected within 2 hours after the child has been stung. Give acetaminophen for the pain. If the child stops breathing, use mouth to mouth breathing (see p. 80). Also give tetanus antitoxin (see p. 389). If the child who was stung is very young or has been stung on the main part of the body, or if you know the scorpion was of a deadly type seek medical help fast.
BLACK WIDOW AND OTHER SPIDER BITES
The majority of spider bites, including that of the tarantula, are painful but not dangerous. The bite of a few kinds of spiders—such as the ‘black widow’ and related species—can make an adult quite ill. They can be dangerous for a small child. A black widow bite often causes painful muscle cramps all over the body, and extreme pain in the stomach muscles which become rigid. (Sometimes this is confused with appendicitis!) Give acetaminophen or aspirin and look for medical help. The most useful medicines are not found in village stores. (Injection of 10% calcium gluconate, 10 ml., injected intravenously very slowly over a 10 minute period, helps to reduce the muscular spasms. Also diazepam, p. 390, may be helpful. If signs of shock develop, treat for allergic shock, p. 70. Injections of cortisone may be needed in children.) Also give tetanus antitoxin (see p. 389). A good antivenom exists but is hard to get.
