Best Answer

How long spider bites last varies greatly with the type of spider. A typical bite can be red and irritated for up to two weeks. A bite from a spider like a brown recluse can cause problems for years.

I have a spider bite at the moment and it's so painful! I got it on Monday i think. When I looked online, it said it will last a day or 2 if it wasn't venomous, but if it was venomous it can last over 1 week. If it is still there after 2 weeks and it is not getting better, go to the doctors/hospital.

Should you be worried if you were bitten by a regular house spider in North Dakota?

It depends on what kind of house spider you were bitten by. If bitten by an American House Spider, it depends on if the bite contained venom. Symptoms may include swelling and itching around the area and may trigger antibody allergies in some individuals. Medical attention may not be needed unless there is a severe reaction. If bitten by a Daddy Long-Legs (Cellar Spider, Carpenter Spider), you may have a short lived burning sensation, but no other serious effects. Barn Funnel Weaver spiders rarely bite. If they do, it is painless. A bite by the Brown House Spider (cupboard spider, dark comb-footed spider) can cause blistering and malaise.


Do daddy long legs spider bite?

Daddy long legs do bite. They are not harmful to humans, and contrary to popular belief are NOT the most venomous spiders around. People believe that they can't bite people because of their uncate fangs, but the brown recluse (which IS harmful to humans) also has uncate fangs. Also, the term daddy longs legs refers to three different types of bugs - one is the cellar spider, one is the harvestmen, which is an arachnid, but NOT a spider, and the other is the Crane fly. The bite from a cellar spider produces a short lived burning sensation. The myth about them being "the most venomous spider, but they can't bite humans" was debunked by MythBusters and Bill Nye the Science Guy


Are grandaddy long legs poisones?

Yes, they are one of the more poisonous spider species. Their fangs are not long enough to bite humans however.


Does every spider bite humans?

Every spider has fangs and/or teeth, since all of them are carnivores (meat-eaters). However, the fangs/teeth of most species are not strong or long enough to penetrate the skin of a human. This means that all spiders can bite humans but most of them will be harmless (you won't even feel them). When the fangs/teeth are strong and long enough you will feel a bite. Important to know is that although spiders can bite, it does not mean that they will bite. Most spiders will only bite to defent themselves, but not before they try to escape first.

Can a daddy long leg bite you in between your toes?

No is the answer to that question and I will tell you why. The grand daddy long leg is considered the most poisionous spider but it's mouth is too small to bite anything. It eats very small things. Don't be afraid because they will NOT bite because well they can't!
