Do spiders bite

1 answer

Yes, spiders can bite. However, most spider bites are not harmful to humans. When spiders bite, it is usually a defensive reaction when they feel threatened. Some spider species, such as the black widow and brown recluse, have venom that can be harmful and may require medical attention. In general, the vast majority of spider bites cause only mild irritation, similar to a mosquito bite. If you experience severe symptoms after a spider bite, it's advisable to seek medical help.
