[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 66568, member: 4086"] Widows are actually THE most venomous in the US :) Recluse bites are generally considered less dangerous or harmful to people. With both spiders, there are people who will shrug off the venom and others who will become very ill. I've read medical reports on Latrodectus bites. Some victims suffered excruciating abdominal and back pain. One of them was a child, and they only got relief from the antivenin, nothing else helped. It takes awhile to kick in, too.. Not knowing what your reaction might be is why caution must be used with these. And if it's anything like rattlesnake antivenin, it's going to cost a mighty pretty penny for Latrodectus antivenin, if any hospitals in your area even have any on hand. Just something to consider. You get bit by one of these ladies, you're gonna have a bad time, m'kay? [/QUOTE]
