ABSTRACT

Poisonous insects are very abundant in our country and should be considered an important public health problem since they are the cause of more than 20,000 accidents every year with a mortality rate of 10%. Children and adults more than 70 years of age are most vulnerable as well as hypersensitive people to the components of the poison. Strange enough in many schools of medicine in this and other countries, these items are briefly treated or ommitted in the curricula.
