Rumor has it she is dead
Contrary to popular belief, the bite of this spider is not fatal. Its venom, which is injected in one in three bites, can be dangerous for humans, causing infection, necrosis, or even septic shock. Since July, two men have died following a bite. But it is not the venom itself that killed them. “It is not a deadly spider. People do not die from the direct action of the venom, but from infections, necrosis and burns of the skin.”had explained to the Parisian Christine Rollard, spider specialist at the National Museum of Natural History.
