This guide summarizes threats from various medically important invertebrate groups worldwide, including physical pain and annoyance to disease transmission risk. It also summarizes personal protective measures that one should embrace to prevent attack and disease risk, and it briefly addresses treatments where applicable. Crucial for protecting the health of those who work with animals, it will serve as a strong reference as well for medical personnel working in high risk areas, travel planners, and other interested parties.
