Wow, so Black Widow bites are not really dangerous? I grew up being told they can be deadly (or at least quite harmful. Maybe I made up the deadly part based on – hello – the name)Yep, note the tip on manuka honey at end. Little bottle lives in the dog medical tackle box when traveling...good for the fly or spider bites on the tips of the leathers or the little hematomas at end from shaking water out of floppy ear head ...
We got a lot of black widders here very mild in toxin so not a biggee and we both get bit once in awhile when bushwhacking or sitting on logs taking a break... you can tell by the fang marks...
Just don't pick at them- just a little triple antibiotic or honey works best. Let it heal.
Wait. I'm being an idiot. Isn't it that the female spider kills its mate?
