I was wondering (based on a story I heard) about this.
Basically I know (unless you are severly allergic) a tarantula bite cannot kill a human. However if say a human being fell in to a container that contained let's say 100 T's and they all bit him or even just half did; what would be the outcome.
My opinion is it is venom volume so if he is bitten by 50/100 T's then that would be it game over.
The reason I ask is because I heard a story a few years ago (and it could be an urban myth) that a gangster in Manchester (UK) exacted revenge on someone by putting that person in a large cage with over 100 T's and that they were mexican red knees; somehow they were deliberately agitated and bit the person thrown in and he died a violent death. How true it is I don't know; I can say there are some very nasty and wierd peopel in UK and especially the northern parts. Just wanted your opinions.
