Many of these species’ venoms contain compounds that block neuromuscular transmission at acetylcholine receptor sites and have direct inhibitory effects on cardiac and skeletal muscle. Ptosis is common and often the first outward sign of envenomation. Other signs and symptoms include vertigo, paresthesias, fasciculations, slurred speech, drowsiness, dysphagia, restlessness, increased salivation, nausea, and proximal muscle weakness. The usual cause of death is respiratory failure.

- Risque d’allergie à l’anti-venin: An allergy history with emphasis on symptoms after exposure to horse or sheep products, previous injection of horse or sheep serum, and a history of asthma, hay fever, urticaria, or allergy to wool, papain, chymopapain, papaya, or pineapple should be obtained if antivenom treatment is being considered.

Décrire les différents stade d’empoisonnement aux serpents
- Grade 0 (minimal): There is no evidence of envenomation, but snakebite is suspected. A fang wound may be present. Pain is minimal, with less than 1 inch of surrounding edema and erythema. No systemic manifestations are present during the first 12 hours after the bite. No laboratory changes occur.
- Grade I (minimal): There is minimal envenomation, and snakebite is suspected. A fang wound is usually present. Pain is moderate or throbbing and localized to the fang wound, surrounded by 1 to 5 inches of edema and erythema. No evidence of systemic involvement is present after 12 hours of observation. No laboratory changes occur.
- Grade II (moderate): There is moderate envenomation, more severe and widely distributed pain, edema spreading toward the trunk, and petechiae and ecchymoses limited to the area of edema. Nausea, vomiting, and a mild elevation in temperature are usually present.
- Grade III (severe): The envenomation is severe. The case may initially resemble a grade I or II envenomation, but the course is rapidly progressive. Within 12 hours, edema spreads up the extremity and may involve part of the trunk. Petechiae and ecchymoses may be generalized. Systemic manifestations may include tachycardia and hypotension. Laboratory abnormalities may include an elevated white blood cell count, creatine phosphokinase, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time, as well as elevated fibrin degradation products and D-dimer. Decreased platelets and fibrinogen are common. Hematuria, myoglobinuria, increased bleeding time, and renal or hepatic abnormalities may also occur.
- Grade IV (very severe): The envenomation is very severe and is seen most frequently after the bite of a large rattlesnake. It is characterized by sudden pain, rapidly progressive swelling that may reach and involve the trunk within a few hours, ecchymoses, bleb formation, and necrosis. Systemic manifestations, often commencing within 15 minutes of the bite, usually include weakness, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and numbness or tingling of the lips or face. Muscle fasciculations, painful muscular cramping, pallor, sweating, cold and clammy skin, rapid and weak pulse, incontinence, convulsions, and coma may also be observed. An intravenous bite may result in cardiopulmonary arrest soon after the bite.

Décrire les sx d’une piqûre par fire ant
The sting usually produces a sterile pustule within 24 hours. Le venin induit une destruction tissulaire et une hémolyse. Other symptoms include local burning, redness, and itching. With multiple stings and in sensitive individuals, urticaria, angioedema, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, wheezing, dizziness, and respiratory arrest may occur.
Décrire les ss/sx d’une morsure par veuve noire
Dlr lors de la morsure, puis oedème et rougeur
Associated symptoms include dizziness, restlessness, ptosis, nausea, vomiting, headache, pruritus, dyspnea, conjunctivitis, facial swelling, sweating, weakness, difficulty speaking, anxiety, and cramping pain in all muscle groups. Priapism has been reported in children. The patient is usually hypertensive, and cerebrospinal fluid pressure is sometimes elevated.
(The ingredient most toxic to humans is thought to be a neurotoxin. This toxin destabilizes neuronal membranes by opening ionic channels, causing depletion of acetylcholine from presynaptic nerve terminals and increasing the frequency of spontaneous miniature endplate potentials at neuromuscular junctions)

the victim may have heightened sensitivity to touch in the area of the sting along with local numbness and weakness. The diagnosis is often made by tapping on the site of the sting and causing an increase in pain at the site. Systemic symptoms may then develop, including anxiety, restlessness, muscle spasms, nausea, vomiting, excessive salivation, sweating, itching of the nose and throat, hyperthermia, blurred vision, roving eye movement or nystagmus, myoclonus, priapism, hypertension, hemiplegia, syncope, cardiac dysrhythmias, and respiratory arrest

Quel est le score de Baux?
The Baux score is the sum of the patient’s age and the percentage of TBSA burned.18 In the original article, the Baux score that predicted 100% mortality was 100. A more recent study found that a Baux score of 160 predicted 100% mortality, and a Baux score of 109.6 predicted 50% mortality (95% confidence interval), which is a testament to improved therapy and outcomes.

phosphore
The autoignition temperature (the temperature at which spontaneous combustion can occur) is 30°C (86°F). When white phosphorus comes in contact with air at temperatures above the autoignition point, the phosphorus spontaneously oxidizes, forming phosphorus pentoxide. Phosphorus pentoxide can combine with small amounts of moisture in the air, forming phosphoric acid
Acide phosphorique cause une brûlure thermique
After oral ingestion of white phosphorus, three stages of toxicity are described, although it is uncommon that all three stages occur. The first stage, which can last 8 to 24 hours, is characterized by gastrointestinal tract irritation, including vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The stool is occasionally described as being luminescent or “smoking.” Hypovolemic shock can result. Up to one third of patients who ingest significant quantities of white phosphorus will die during this stage. The second stage is a latent phase. During this period, which can last 1 to 3 days, symptoms appear to be improving. However, the third stage is characterized by multisystem organ failure, including hepatic failure, renal failure, and CNS depression. Renal failure is usually present at days 1 to 4, whereas jaundice typically manifests at days 3 to 5.
Metabolic derangements can also occur after white phosphorus exposure, including hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. Conduction system disturbances, including bradycardia, QT prolongation, and ST and T wave abnormalities,
