Yes, there is a possibility of that occurring if the bite goes untreated. However, adult humans have so much body volume compared to the volume of a black widow spider bite that the venom will be too dilute to kill a healthy individual. People of low body weight (pre-adult) and people who are old and infirm are more likely to die. Nobody has died in the U.S. since anti-venoms have become available.
