tarantulas
Posted by Dan Sokolnicki on January 10, 2006
Q: I've heard that there are no known deaths caused by tarantulas, is that true?
A: That sounds true to me. Both the Black Widow and Brown Recluse are known to have an especially dangerous venom but even they rarely kill anyone. ALL spiders have venom but only those two species are known to have caused a death in North America. Thanks for asking.
