Linothele megatheloides venom

[Ratmosphere]

Is the venom from Linothele megatheloides medically significant?

If I recall correctly, LD50 values would suggest that a bite shouldn't be on your to-do list. Obviously, though, LD50 data is far from perfect and doesn't really tell you how it would effect a healthy adult. I've never heard of anyone ever being bitten, either. The general consensus seems to just be, "don't be the one to find out."

Sorry, there just isn't a whole lot of info available.

Edit: here's an old thread that discusses it to some extent http://arachnoboards.com/threads/linothele-venom.174133/
