Importance: Venomous snake and spider bites are relatively rare in the Unites States and even more so in the pregnant population. However, the impact of a venomous bite, also known as an envenomation, can be serious in a pregnant patient. Thus, providers in endemic and high-risk areas must be familiar with the management of envenomation in the pregnant population.

Article Synopsis
- * Compared to non-pregnant women of childbearing age (87,553 cases), pregnant women received less drug treatment for envenomations (9.9% vs. 24.4%), and were less likely to receive antihistamines for various bites.
- * Maternal outcomes were mostly minor, with no maternal deaths; however, three fetal deaths occurred from snakebites before 20 weeks gestation, with some attributed to the envenomations.
