Jumping Spider Bite
Jumping spider bites are not considered particularly harmful to humans, especially since the species tends to flee from humans rather than attack. While most jumping spiders do produce venom, this venom rarely results in effects more severe than skin irritation. However, entry wounds tend to be painful.
Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the venom of a jumping spider. Symptoms of allergic reactions include dizziness, nausea, fever, vomiting and open wounds. In the event of extreme reactions to any spider bite, seek medical attention immediately.
If at all possible, the biting spider should be captured and brought along to assist the physician in identifying the cause of the victim's illness. In many cases, spiders have been crushed following a bite; the remains of the arachnid may still be sufficient for identification.
