The black widow is harmful to humans because its venom is supposedly 15 times as strong as a rattlesnake's. When they bite a person the venom causes muscle aches, nausea, and paralysis of the diaphragm that can make breathing difficult. But, in spite of all the terrifying tales, a bitten person isn't likely to incur serious harm.
