The venom of the "rose haired tarantula" is pretty interesting stuff. It has components that affect the biochemical "channels" that regulate the way the body uses signal chemicals that are put out by some cells and are taken up by other cells whose activity then changes accordingly. So the venom works by either telling needed chemical signal flows to shut off, or to tell chemical signal flows to open full throttle. Prey animals die because the spider venom makes their internal control systems break down.
What the spider uses for destructive processes can be pretty interesting to people in medical science who would like to be able to control how human bodies act when they are sick. The venom of Grammostola rosea is interesting to these researchers because they think they are possibly going to be able to use one component of its venom to treat Heart disease. (It would be nice to be able to give a patient a chemical "tune-up" for restoring the behavior of a sick or injured heart to something nearer its normal way of operation. G. rosea venom may supply the needed chemical compound.)

Is a Chilean Rose Haired Tarantula venomous?
All but one species of spider has toxic venom, but hardly any of them give medically significant bites to humans. The venom of the Chilean Rose Haired Tarantula is not a medically significant threat to humans. They do have long fangs that might penetrate a human's skin by as much as 1/4 inch. So bites should be treated like any other puncture wound, and watched for signs of infection. Scientists are investigating the venom of this spider for the possibility that one or more of its components might be useful in the treatment of certain kinds of heart disease. What nature develops for one purpose sometimes turns out to have other useful qualities.
