[QUOTE="MidnightArachnids, post: 221128, member: 39676"] Not every bite is the same.. just like injuries. I gave one of my friends a P. regalis. 6" female if I remember correctly. For some reason or another it got out. He ended up being bitten on his calf. He was fine after 4 hours. The next day he had muscle cramps, etc but went away by that night. The other friend ended up being tagged by a female ornata while attempting to breed. Not sure of her exact size. His hand swelled. He said it was like fire traveling up us arm. After 20 minutes he started bleeding from his gums. He had muscle spasms along with chest pain. After 2 days, a majority of the pain stopped. It was almost 3 weeks before all symptoms stopped. During that time he had some muscle spasms and stiffness in his arm. There are many factors that come into play. Size of the spider, location of the bite and how much venom was injected. Along with the type of T. You also got to take into consideration of a person's pain tolerance. [/QUOTE]
