OBJECTIVE: Injuries resulting from contact with animals and insects are a
significant public health concern. This study quantifies nonfatal bite and sting
injuries by noncanine sources using data from the National Electronic Injury
Surveillance System-All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP). METHODS: The NEISS-AIP is an
ongoing nationally representative surveillance system used to monitor all types
and causes of injuries treated in US hospital emergency departments (EDs). Cases
were coded by trained hospital coders using information from medical records on
animal and insect sources of bite and sting injuries being treated. Data were
weighted to produce national annualized estimates, percentages, and rates based
on the US population. RESULTS: From 2001 to 2010 an estimated 10.1 million people
visited EDs for noncanine bite and sting injuries, based on an unweighted case
count of 169,010. This translates to a rate of 340.1 per 100,000 people (95% CI,
232.9-447.3). Insects accounted for 67.5% (95% CI, 45.8-89.2) of bite and sting
injuries, followed by arachnids 20.8% (95% CI, 13.8-27.9). The estimated number
of ED visits for bedbug bite injuries increased more than 7-fold-from 2156 visits
in 2007 to 15,945 visits in 2010. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides an update of
national estimates of noncanine bite and sting injuries and describes the
diversity of animal exposures based on a national sample of EDs. Treatment of
nonfatal bite and sting injuries are costly to society. Direct medical and work
time lost translates to an estimated $7.5 billion annually.
