                         where epidemiological risks caused by venomous animals occur, in 
                         Guarulhos, state of S{\~a}o Paulo, Brazil. Satellites images of 
                         the Landsat series in two distinct periods of time (1975 and 2000) 
                         were used, to provide the comparative mapping of the surface 
                         elements. Georeferenced database containing the distribution of 
                         the cases of venomous animal bites in every district of the city 
                         of Guarulhos were then combined. Critical regions of their 
                         incidence corresponded to those where deforestation has given 
                         place to urban areas, as it is the case of the districts 
                         Cabu{\c{c}}u and Bonsucesso. Most of the bites were caused by 
                         spiders (41%) followed by scorpions (37%). Such observations 
                         allowed us to identify the recent (25 years) retraction of natural 
                         forested areas (49%), one of the possible reasons of the 
                         geographic distribution expansion of those venomous animals, 
                         closely related with human activity patterns in open areas near 
                         natural water sources. Thus, environmental educational work should 
                         be started in these regions in order to avoid the meeting with 
                         such animals, to diminish the risk of human bites, and 
                         consequently, the use of antivenom and its side effects, as well 
                         as to diminish governamental expenses on National Security to 
                         support patients, most of them in work age.",
