Autohaemorrhaging
[edit]On the page for "autohaemorrhaging," blister beetles are listed as one of the species that does so, yet the article does not mention the beetles ejecting hemolyph. Is the toxic substance the beetle uses for self-defense its circulatory fluid? Atypicaloracle (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:25, 9 November 2010 (UTC).

A friend studying entemology told me about meloidae beetles after seeing a picture in a book of burns caused by their secretions or larvae,that looked like my mysterious leg wounds.
I have experienced skin blisters after mowing in high grass in my lawn.The affected areas first turn red and washing does not help. The next day, the area blisters up ,eventually they pop and leave an ugly open wound resembling a burn. The areas are irregular and resemble spattered patterns that a thick liquid would leave. This year my son,playing in a tall grass area, has many of these nasty wounds.They occur slowly and one does not realize exposure until the damage is done.My ex husband insists that our son has scabies, because a hasty emegency room doctor said so.The fact that no one else in the home has a mark on them is not allowed to enter into his thought process. I wish more were available about these beetles because people think we're crazy. Why else would they be called "blister beetles" |
