چکیده

i read with great interest the case report titled “periumbilical pain with radiation to both legs following tarantula bite; a case report” published in emergency journal. tarantula spiders are not medically important except for some very limited species, which do not exist in iran. solifugae -or rotails as they are called in iran- are in fact another group of animals also called camel spiders (figure 2). they are also venom-free and generally cause secondary infections in the site of their bites. thus, it seems that the patient's signs and symptoms cannot be due to the rotail or tarantula bites.
