[QUOTE="Scoolman, post: 56685, member: 41"] [B]All taranchula bites should always be followed with a visit to the hospital, at the very least you need to get yourself on a regimen of antibiotics due to the bacteria carried on the exterior of the fangs, which have been injected into your blood stream. While the venom itself may not be a potential threat, the bacterial infection could be. Of the known tarantula bite reports resulting in death, the cause was due to sepsis as a result of the infection. Of course you could just take your pain med to reduce the swelling, ignore the bite, and within 24 to 48 hours infection will most likely set in; then seek medical attention after the fact.
