I havn't been bit by a tarantula
However i've been bit by a centipede, S. cingulata. A little painful.

I've also been bit by a true spider, Dolomedes tenebrosus. When I was 16. I still have a scar from it on my thumb (about 8mms) lol

UniProt accession number Q7YT39 - peptides from T (Grammostola Rosea in this case) venom which has anti microbial affects
and less than 1% of every single spider bite in the world gets a secondary infection for a reason

Um.. less than one percent of spider bites get a secondary infection ?
No way I've personally seen more than three in two years just around where I am. So ..No way.

The rate of a bacterial infection due to a spider bite is low (0.9%). - wikipedia but thats not foolproof

damn dude true spider bites can be more potent than T bites!

even though most people (not you of course - like the random not so knowledgable about spiders) think its the other way around!
