“…The insects of the family Pentatomidae (stink bugs, mariasfedidas, fedes-fedes) cause contact skin injuries that are similar to those associated with Paederus beetles (12) (Figure 3). The crushing of these hemipterans against the skin causes vesicular and erythematous plaques on exposed areas, which are accompanied by a burning sensation and pruritus.…”

This review presents the main species of venomous and poisonous arthropods, with commentary on the clinical manifestations provoked by the toxins and therapeutic measures used to treat human envenomations. The groups of arthopods discussed include the class Arachnida (spiders and scorpions, which are responsible for many injuries reported worldwide, including Brazil); the subphylum Myriapoda, with the classes Chilopoda and Diplopoda (centipedes and millipedes); and the subphylum Hexapoda, with the class Insecta and the orders Coleoptera (beetles), Hemiptera (stink bugs, giant water bugs, and cicadas), Hymenoptera (ants, wasps, and bees), and Lepidoptera (butterfl ies and moths).

“…Com cerca de 4500 espécies catalogadas no mundo, sendo dessas aproximadamente 160 encontradas na região de São Paulo 2 , percevejos da família dos Pentatomidae são insetos conhecidos popularmente pelo nome de 'maria-fedida' (fede--fede, percevejo) por excretarem líquido malcheiroso pelos ductos de suas glândulas odoríferas 1 . Tal substância apresenta em sua fórmula hidrocarbonetos e outros componentes que funcionam como mecanismo de defesa ou ataque para o inseto 2 . Embora essa substância apresente ação irritativa para a superfície ocular, poucos são os relatos na literatura [2][3][4][5] .…”
