Florida: Most Dangerous Spiders

Though, there are some morphological differences, the three varieties are pretty much related and similar to each other. Like many other venomous creatures, the black widow spider has bright red pattens on it as a warning sign for predators that would attempt to feed on it. The black widow spider is not capable of killing a bird that would eat it, but the digestive sickness that would follow, will be definitely enough to make it avoid attacking the black widow again. Other systemic reactions to spider bites include leg cramps, leg numbness, headaches, pulse changes, exhaustion and more, they are all serious enough to determine one to call the doctor right away. Hence, do not hesitate to do so in case you experience any of the above symptoms! Many of the ointments prescribed for the alleviation of the pain caused by a spider bite are often ineffectual. The hobo spider is often found in homes or in their vicinity and though the general reputation of the species is that of high aggressiveness, these creatures are very unlikely to attack a human being. You can only be exposed to a hobo spider bite in case you accidentally crush one; the bite is pretty painful due to the toxicity of the hobo spider venom. They are found almost everywhere on the North American continent except the area at the west of the Rocky Mountains; what seems even more interesting is the fact that a variety of brown recluse spiders is also found in Hawaii. In its natural habitat the species prefers rotten tree bark as the favorite place to make the nest, but it is also found in alls sorts of house corners. The truth is somewhere in between: the camel spider lives in the Middle East countries, and it has become known in the United States and the rest of world after US troops have come across some specimens. The camel spider is even falsely called a spider, since the species is cataloged under a different name in the zoological categories. The bites of these spiders are not dangerous, though sometimes nasty symptoms may appear: itching, swelling and even pain are among the most frequently encountered. In the majority of cases medical assistance is not necessary and a bag of ice placed on the bite will do. If discomfort does not cease, you should not postpone seeing a doctor.
