Mouse spiders are venomous and can be potentially dangerous to humans. However, bites from mouse spiders are relatively rare, and most species are not considered a significant threat to humans. If bitten, symptoms may include pain, swelling, and redness at the bite site, as well as more general symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and headaches. In severe cases, the venom can cause muscle spasms, breathing difficulties, and other systemic effects. If you suspect a mouse spider has bitten you, it is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Antivenom is available and can be effective in treating envenomation.
Mouse spiders can pose a potential danger to humans and pets if they are provoked or feel threatened. They are venomous, and their bites can cause local pain, redness, swelling, and other symptoms such as nausea, headache, and muscle spasms. In rare cases, the venom can cause more severe systemic effects such as breathing difficulties and loss of consciousness.
However, most mouse spiders are not aggressive towards humans and generally try to avoid contact. Nevertheless, it is vital to take precautions when handling spiders, such as wearing protective clothing and avoiding contact with the spider’s fangs.
