Abstract

Blister beetles are a group of insects that include the Meloidae, Oedemeridae, and Staphylinidae families. The most well-known family, Meloidae, has more than 200 species known for causing a blistering dermatitis in humans by emitting the substance cantharidin, which has been pharmacologically used as a vesicant and can cause deleterious effects if ingested. Most recently, blister beetles have been studied for their anticancer properties.
