Abstract
While the majority of the phylum Arthropoda are terrestrial, some of the aquatic members can be harmful to human skin. While none of the aquatic arthropods are known to be venomous, traumatic injuries from claws or spines can cause penetrating and laceration injuries which may lead to secondary infection. Bite reactions, poisoning from ingestion, and contact reactions are also seen due to marine arthropods. Preventive measures and treatment are discussed.
