All tarantulas are poisonous. They possess venom and can bite humans. However, although their venom is deadly to their prey, it is not deadly to humans and the venom of most species of tarantula rarely causes anything more than localised aching around the bite area. The effects are often compared to a bee or wasp sting, although some people who have been bitten by tarantulas claim it is worse than that. However, there are several death incidents caused by tarantulas. But all of them belong to people who are allergic to insect venom (note: deaths of allergic people caused by bees are much more than tarantulas).
Note that although tarantulas have big fangs, they do not bite humans unless they feel threatened. Some species of tarantula do however have really itchy hairs all over their body that they can shed all over you! This causes severe itching and irritation, and is one of the tarantula's main forms of defense.

∙ 11y agoTheoretically, yes, in the same way that a peanut could kill a human. There are no definitive cases of humans dying following a tarantula bite, though.
The venom of tarantulas is roughly like bee or wasp venom in terms of how dangerous it is to humans. It could kill someone who is allergic, but is extremely unlikely to kill someone who is not.
This is complicated by the fact that "tarantula" is used for a great many different spiders, some of which are related and some of which are not.
The original tarantula Lycosa tarantula was a kind of wolf spider found in southern Italy near the town of Taranto.
However, in modern usage, "tarantula" usually means one of about 900 species in the family Theraphosidae. Theraphosids are not especially closely related to wolf spiders in general or Lycosa tarantula in particular.
It's also sometimes used to mean "big spider-like thing which I don't know exactly what it really is," especially if it's also hairy. One example is the Brazilian wandering spider Phoneutria nigriventer, which actually is dangerous to humans with several well-documented cases of death following a bite.
"De beautiful bunch of ripe banana! (daylight come and me wan' go home) Hide de deadly black tarantula!" is probably actually referring to P. nigriventer.

How long does a tarantula hawk live?
First, an adult Tarantula Hawk will go hunting for a Tarantula in it's burrow. Once it finds the burrow, it will drag the Tarantula out of it's burrow and inject a paralyzing venom into it. When the Tarantula is paralyzed, it will be taken into burrow made by the wasp and a single egg will be laid on the Tarantula. The wasp will leave. When the egg hatches, the larvae will feed on the living Tarantula. The larvae will eventually enter the inside of the Tarantula, consuming it from the inside out. While it does this, it has to avoid any major organs in the Tarantula so that it's food doesn't die. The Tarantula Hawk will become an adult (after the pupa stage) and leave. That is the cycle for the Tarantula Hawk.
