[QUOTE="Therasoid, post: 45012, member: 3538"] This depends on the species, whether OW or NW. Yes, there are confirmed reports of large dogs dying from bites in Australia. At the ER, they can only treat the symptoms, not the venom, as there isn't tarantula anti-venom. Look on You Tube at RobC and his videos on being tagged by one of his pokies. In no time flat he was in severe pain and felt the onslaught of nausea setting in. In a small child it would probably be worse and the effects longer lasting. Not to mention the mechanical damage and long term psychological affect it has. This is a good reason to keep children away from Ts without adult supervision and NOT allow them to "handle" one. IMO!
