No. Black widow Spiders bite prey all of the time. There is no difference in what happens to their bodies when they bite if they happen to bite a large mammal like a human. If the human swats any spider that has bitten him/her, then of course they are most likely going to die.
You may be thinking of honey bees that die after they sting, but they die because their abdomens rip open and lots of their internal organs are pulled out along with the stinger.

∙ 11y agoBlack widows (and other widow spiders) have a venom that is very toxic to humans. It is a neurotoxin, which means that it affects the nervous system and so it can shut the whole organism down. It doesn't just paralyze its prey. It kills them outright.
Spiders have only one set of venom glands. They only make one kind of venom, even though the venom can have more than one toxin in it. Some spiders can make a choice on how much venom to inject. If you squish a Brazilian Wandering Spider, for instance, you could be in bad trouble because each one has enough venom to kill several people. However, they often bite without injecting any venom. As soon as you stop hurting them I guess they will start withdrawing their fangs.
The Australian Funnel Web Spider can't control how much venom it injects. It always tries to give humans a full dose.
Black widows can decide how much venom to inject. Fortunately for humans, they only have enough to kill people with low body weight (children) or people who are old and infirm.
