P. ornata venom

[lookerbrian]

I knew ahead of time when I purchased my ornata that the bite is severe and handling to be avoided, etc. Question is I recently came across this website that has a chart about certain tarantulas and bite symptoms (found here: http://library.thinkquest.org/C007974/2_4tar.htm ). Can anybody verify if the venom directly attacks your respiratory system or is it mostly labored breathing? I haven't been able to find any more info on this.

Maybe you've read this already, but check the bite report thread from these forums.
