I had a 100Lb. pitbull (Female) that was bit by a Black Widow. She was lathargic and slept alot for about 3-5 to five days. I knew she was not feeling well but was not sure why, at first. I noticed a small open crater on her back about the third day. She was drinking alot of water and sleeping much. At the end of the week she was doing pretty good and was quite active. I was working about 10-12 hrs. a day at the time and was not very intuitive to what she was going through. I thought maybe she just had a bug. By the weekend she was fine. I washed her and cleaned the inside of her dog house. When I shook out her blanky, a crushed dead Black Widow fell out of it. I was floored by the fact that I was so oblivious to this. After that I became the Black Widow Terminator, at least in the back yard. I found out that her superior metabolism got her through the bite without perminent damage to her. I will say though, I have 2 young pits now, and I am constantly monitoring the yard for Widows. They are only 60lbs........ so why take a chance.
What else can I help you with?

A brown recluse is not a large spider. It is about the size of a lead weight that you would put onto a fishing line. The brown recluse and the black widow are two poisonous spiders found in the US. Neither one has enough poison to kill a person. The danger is that their bites cause infection, which can damage large areas of tissue. The bite of a brown recluse usually turns black within a few days, and swells up around the bite.The Black Widow venom is approximately 15 times more powerful than a Rattlesnake's venom. The venom is a powerful nuerotoxin. The obvious insight is that a Black Widow is not injecting as much venom as a Rattlesnake could. At 15x the potency though you have a concern on your hands.A Black Widow bite can potentially cause death in a human being. As noted in other texts, the most common deaths are the very young and the very old. However, each bite is case specific. One individual may not react like another. There may be a strong reaction to the venom in one individual and less severe response in another.Why take a chance? If you are bitten by a Black Widow go the ER and state up front that you have been bitten by a Black Widow. Antivenin is available should it be warranted.
