Blister Beetle Danger Don't Touch

Don't let animals eat can kill a horse "Historically, blister beetles have been used in medicine. Dead and dried beetles were smashed and ground into a fine powder. The powder was used to create a seemingly mystic concoction called Spanish fly. People used Spanish fly to treat physical ailments such as arthritis and more salaciously as an aphrodisiac. The basis for these uses is because blister beetles produce cantharidin. The beetles employ the chemical as a means to defend themselves and their eggs. They release the chemical when agitated or attacked by predators."(https://www.orkin.com/other/beetles/b...)
"Blister beetles are extremely toxic when ingested by horses: as few as five to ten beetles may be fatal to a horse. The cantharidin toxin affects many bodily systems. It is extremely irritating to the digestive tract and causes blisters and erosions from the lips and tongue all the way through to the lining of the intestines, which causes abdominal pain (colic) and diarrhea. This toxin also causes damage to the kidneys and the heart." (http://www.petmd.com/horse/conditions...)
