There are many types of camel Spiders. Their bite is generally considered to be non-venomous. Even so, they can give a nasty bite, especially when they feel threatened. And their bite is not a 'clean' bite, but it makes a nasty tear in the skin.
What is more, camel spiders don't brush their teeth... so expect the wound to become badly infected by bacteria!
In a worse case scenario, someone who has been bitten by a camel spider may face a life-threatening situation and have to be hospitalised for several months!

Perhaps, but it depends.
Yes, but you are very unlikely to find one.
Nothing. Camel Spiders are not venomous at all. Some ice on the bitten are will help to ease the pain.
First of all the "camel spider" isn't really a spider; it's a spider kin called a solafugid (means "flees from the Sun," which it certainly does). Its venomous bite is painful, but not deadly, to humans. Stories about its anesthetic powers are not true.
The camel spider is not poisonous. However they can penetrate human skin, and painful bites have been reported, leaving gaping wounds if the victim survives but this happens rarely.

The Purple Heart is a military decoration awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces who are wounded or killed in action. It is not awarded for civilian injuries or incidents, such as spider bites. Therefore, a Purple Heart would not be awarded for a camel spider bite.

Camel spiders, also known as solifuges, are not venomous in the way that many people think. While they do possess strong jaws and can bite if threatened, their bites are not dangerous to humans and typically cause only mild irritation. In Colorado, they are more of a curiosity than a threat, as they are not aggressive and usually avoid human contact.
Solifugae do not have venemous bites, but can cause a ragged wound due to their relatively powerful mouthparts. The wound should be washed out immediately, and treated with antiseptics.
An Arachnid is an arthropod with eight or more legs, making the Solifugae (AKA camel spider) an arachnid, but not a "true" spider. Anything in the Arachnid family is considered a spider.
