White tail Spiders are poisonous but the venom does not affect humans.

this is not true the reason for the different severity of wounds caused by the white tail is because its venom causes an instant shut down of the immune system of the immediate area around the bite,therefore the different reactions are to do with natural infection. so it would like be getting a cut or puncture wound and having no immune system the cut would infect and start to gangrene.

the tests done on the spider bites to date have all been done in laboratory conditions not allowing for the reaction of infection. the best way to deal with a white tail bit e is to immediately pour a safe strength of pure hydrogen peroxide/dioxide onto the open wound. this will kill any infection or bacteria in the wound immediately do not continue to wash with the peroxide only clean once with peroxide then use 3 times a day pure tea tree oil for keeping the wound clean and boosting the immune system around the wound the tea tree oil also helps to draw oxygenated blood to the wound area. continued use of peroxide to clean the wound will have unwanted effects.
