Something copied from a page talking about poisons and venoms. Seems not to be very scientific but read and enjoy :D

Tarantula
The tarantula is a very large black hairy spider with orange banding around the knees. It produces venom very similar to the black widow spider. This poison is actually more powerful than most snake venomous, but is produced in very much smaller amounts - even in the tarantula. The first symptom is immediate muscle spasm. This is followed by slight pain, swelling and white skin at the site of the bite. This in turn progresses to pain in the chest, abdomen and joints, followed by nausea, drooling and sweating. Breathing becomes difficult and the victim develops painful cramps. The victim should be given complete rest and a tourniquet should be applied. Death is unlikely and recovery will be complete within the week.
