| Popis: | Objective: to identify the epidemiological profile of accidents by venomous animals in the municipality of Francisco Sá, Minas Gerais, from 2015 to 2017. Materials and methods: this is a descriptive, exploratory, retrospective, and documentarystudy, with a quantitative approach, carried out in the public domain database of the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System. The sample consisted of 207 accidents reported during the period of 2015-2017. A semi-structured form was used as a data collection instrument. Data were discussed according to simple descriptive epidemiology.Results: there was a prevalence of male victims of accidents by venomous animals (51.6%), aged 40-49 years (32.3%), rural workers (35.7%), mild staging of the condition (79.7%), and only one notified death. There was a greater proportion of cases in the year 2017 (38.6%), of the scorpion type (79.7%), in rural areas (55.5%), with greater occurrence in the month of June (7.2%).Conclusion: male rural workers are more susceptible and more exposed to suffering an accident by venomous animals, in view of the significant increase in the number of cases in this period. It is necessary to invest in training for these workers in order to prevent this type of injury. |
