The venom of the Orb Weaver is potent, but not dangerous to humans. Its venom is a neurotoxin similar to that of the black widow. However, its venom is not near as potent.
Orb weavers are reluctant to bite. Symptoms are usually negligible or mild local pain, numbness and swelling, with redness and possibly blisters forming. Occasionally nausea and dizziness can occur after a bite. Any pain should go away within 24 hours.

Why parasitism known as antagonism?
Parasites negatively affect, or antagonize, a host. At the host's expense, a parasite benefits from this negative relationship. For example, a small spider species that cannot spin its own webs, called Argyrodes, parasitize (or antagonize) Orb Weaver webs, "stealing" prey caught in the host Orb Weaver's web, contributing to destruction of the web at a faster rate, and leading to the Orb Weaver building a new web more often and feeding less per web than it would if the Orb Weaver alone was using and living in her own web.
Is the orb weaver spider dangerous to dogs?
First, it depends on the type of orb weaver. Cross orb weavers, for example, are big and hairy, but they don't bite especially when handled correctly (I know from handling both genders of the cross orb weaver) If you disturb an orb weaver while it is on it's web, the spider will only run to one of the many sides of the web. To find what type I describe the spider in the google images search bar and then I search for what looks the most like the spider that I saw. And if I were you, I would find a reliable source that tells whether or not the spider is dangerous. Thanks for reading! (I love spiders)
