Best Answer

All Black Widow Spiders are poisonous, especially the young ones.

Black Widow spider bites are not very common and if you get a bite, it won't kill you, unless you are elderly or a small child, or if you just have poor health in general. If you are sure that you have a Black Widow spider bite, you should get it checked out by a doctor immediately.

Yes they do, and a baby has enough venom to cause a fairly painful burning sensation in a 3 to 4 inch radius. At first it just stings a little right where the bite is, but the sting turns into a burning and slowly spreads out from that spot. the burning sensation can get pretty bad and it can feel kind of scary. It's probably not like any pain you've felt before. But if it just one bite and it's on an adult you should be fine. To be safe you can call poisin control. Be careful, they don't look like much but they pack a mean punch. Even though they might be really small if you get bit by more than one then you my want to seek medical attention.

Yes, they can bite, but they don't seem to have any venom. I received over a dozen bites on my left hand from a freshly hatched egg sack. I applied some echinacea tincture to the area and the welts went away. A few hours later I managed to get another dozen or so bites on the right wrist. Again, echinacea and the itching stopped and the welts disappeared. I came home this afternoon to another fresh batch of baby spiders! I have tried to avoid applying poisons, but this is getting out of control. So I am off to research my options! Any recommendations?

yes, a baby black widow is poisonous. The babies have the same amount of venom as the mother. However, the babies can't inject a harmful amount if they bite someone.

The juveniles and males are harmless, only the adult female has venom. me: I am a wildlife biologist and we often catch black widows in our reptile traps.

Yes, it does hurt. You might hear that Black Widow spiders have poison! They only use that on prey. If a Black Widow Spider bites you, do not treat it or it will get worse

Can baby Orange baboon spiders harm you?

All spiders have at least a small amount of poison, though this is miniscule in the infantory status. Even a baby black widow would be unlikely to cause serious harm to a child unless they were alergic. Baboon spiders are slightly less poisonous than black widows....but I wouldn't want them around to mature. Also when an egg sac opens there's a potential you could get swarmed...though most species tend not to eat for the first couple of days.

The most dramatic difference between the adults and the young of the Black Widow, aside from the difference in size, is the very light to white coloration on the youngsters. Unless you knew what you were looking at already, it would be next to impossible to identify a very young Black Widow.
