What if a baby is bitten by a wolf spider?

Answer 1

Wolf Spiders are venomous and their venom is poisonous. Bites that penetrate the skin can cause pain, swelling and itchiness. Most people only experience the symptoms for a few minutes while others get a wound that takes a few days to heal. If the victim is either a child or an elderly person, medical treatment should be sought. The bite may in itself be infectious and potentially dangerous if proper actions are not taken. The duration of acute pain from wolf spider bites were normally 10 minutes, and the majority of bite effects were due to mechanical trauma but wolf spider bites should be avoided.

If you get a bite do not put a bandage on the wound but wash it with soap and warm water. To reduce the swelling you can put an ice pack over the bite area. If pain persists more than 60 minutes seek medical attention.

Answer 2

There is not normally a threat of a severe reaction, but this can occur with a large specimen or repeated bites. If in doubt about the toxic reaction to any spider bite, consult a medical professional immediately. (Especially if there is marked swelling of the bite site - the bite could be from another species.)

Most wolf spiders have a very very very low venom count. Even in a large wolf spider 1.5 inches of more, the bite is usual harmless. It is among the most common spider species to roam a house. Most bites will only cause a small bump.

Answer 3

it depends on the type of wandering spider some are poisonous some are not like the Brazilian wandering spider is classified as the most poisonous spider in the world and others barely have enough poison to hurt a human at all
