    According to http://honeymoons.about.com/cs/aphrodisiacs/g/SpanishFlyAphro.htm

    Spanish fly (cantharides) is a substance made from pulverized beetles found in southern Europe. For centuries Spanish fly has been considered an aphrodisiac. Spanish fly poorly mimics arousal by irritating the urogenital tract and causing the genitals to burn, swell and itch. Side effects can include pain, nausea, vomiting, and death.

    Also Known As: cantharides cantharidin

    Alternate Spellings: cantarides
