How many bites can you take from a house spider?

Question

How many bites can you take? from spiders that like going into your house? i have my room cleaned, very clean but for some reason spiders end up in the room still. The spider that are in my room are pretty big and recently i've been bit by something. My arm hurts where i found the bites and theres like a total of 5 bites of my shoulder, the bites are a little spaced out and so is the spiders teeth. So now im wondering if i keep getting bit by a spider will i die?

Answer 1

depends on the spider. Most household spider bites will hurt, but the main one to worry about is the Brown Recluse spider. That one will start decaying your flesh at the bite, then spreading. That one you need a hospital. Or a Black Widow. (Black body with red hourglass on the top.) They can kill as well. Otherwise you might feel sick and get some swelling, but most other spiders will not hurt you too bad.

Answer 2

Wow, you've got real arachnid problems.

It sounds like the ones in your room are only mildly toxic.  You could probably take a hundred bites from them without being killed.  That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to do something to keep them out or whatever, but without seeing your room that's kind of hard to guess at.

Incidentally, make sure those aren't black widows.  Widows aren't as deadly as people tend to think, but still the danger from them is real.  About 5% of widow bites are lethal.  That's good odds, but still they're not odds you want to take with multiple bites.

u will be completely fine just if your arm starts to swell and keeps swelling i would see a doctor but i have had bad spider bite s normally you just have to wait them out

Answer 4

You have NOT been bitten by a spider or group of spiders.  Spiders very, very rarely bite people, unless the person is harming the spider.

Spiders do NOT have teeth.  They have two fangs that they use to inject venom into their insect prey.  

99.9% of all spiders are harmless to human beings.  

Spiders are very beneficial to the environment, and they help keep your home and garden free of pests like Flies, Gnats, Mosquitoes, Cockroaches, Crickets, Termites, etc, etc.  Would you rather have one little spider in your home or 100 Cockroaches?

Answer 5

If it is a common house spider, it would depend upon how allergic you are to its venom.

If the area turns red OR swells OR is painful OR you get nauseous OR you get dizzy:  go to the doctor.  If possible with whatever is left of the spider after you kill it.

Answer 6

It's their biological niche.
