What happens if a tarantula bites you?

Answer 1

All Spiders have at least some venom in their bite. If you get a bite, you will usually see a small pimple like bump on your skin. There is no reason to be alarmed unless you start feeling dizzy, sick to stomach, throat closing, severe pain at the bite that radiates to another part of your body. If any of these occur seek prompt medical attention.

Answer 2

I don't really know but it will start to swell up. Take and alergy pill and go to the doctor! if it is poisinous then wherever you got bit will turn purple and swell up but if it is not then mostly nothing will happen.

Answer 3

I was bitten by a stone spider 2 weeks ago. It felt as though i was being stung. The sting was painful perhaps 4 on a scale 1-10. Three bites in a row beofre I managed to brush it off. Then nothing until that evening (around 7 hours later) - hugely itchy - like veyr bad mosqituo itching. Around 7 on a scale. hree days of itch. Now left with red weals (around 2 cm sqare) with raised bit mark off centre in each. No longer itchy. Looks as though they may scar or leave residual mark - they are pronounced. The spider got trapped around my knee under trousers while walking on coastal path in Cornwall.

Answer 4

As soon as a tarantula plunges its fangs into you, it will probably inject some or all of its venom. Some venoms are highly toxic to humans. Beginners should avoid tarantulas that produce highly toxic bites. Some venoms are not very toxic to humans at all. Some tarantulas are very little inclined to bite, and some are highly likely to bite.

Most bites aren't toxic to humans but can hurt real bad.The fangs can be up to 2 to 5 mm wide and 5 to 10 mm in length, so just the mechanical injury can be painful.

No tarantulas are known to be so venomous that they have killed people, however, some tarantulas have venoms that have powerful effects on the human nervous system. They can produce intense spasms or cramps that last for hours and keep coming back for more than one day.

Tarantulas, unlike dogs and cats, do not enjoy being handled or petted. Some of them tolerate being herded onto your hand and will walk over your body without getting upset. Other tarantulas will retaliate against even your hand coming too close to them as you are cleaning dead crickets out of their cage. Never surprise a tarantula if you can help it.

Answer 5

That question is dependent on your tolerance to pain. Tarantula's generally are not poisonous to humans, no worse than a Bee / Wasp sting, the real issue is the size of the fang used in the bite. These fangs can be as wide as 4 or 5 millimeters and twice that in length; imagine two dialysis needles (largeneedles) being stuck into you without care for the pain it causes.
