The Northern Black Widow<\/a> is a solitary creature that does not set out to prey upon humans.\u00a0 Normally found hiding in a dark corner of a garage, shed, attic, or closet, the black widow is not a spider that you will see running across your living room carpet.\u00a0 Female black widows are easily identifiable as they have black bodies with a red hourglass marking on her back.<\/p>\n

Black widows<\/a> spin sporadic messy looking webs that are not symmetrical and beautifully shaped like other types of spider webs.\u00a0 Black widows typically hang out in their web, or sit nearby the web, while they wait for new prey to become entangled.\u00a0 Once trapped, the black widow moves in for a paralyzing bite which will deliver a poisonous neurotoxin to the trapped insect.<\/p>\n

Humans become accidental victims of the bite of a black widow when they reach into areas where a black widow is sitting or where the web is spun.\u00a0 The spider instinctively reacts to the threat by biting the incoming hand.\u00a0 Once bitten, a human victim should seek medical care.\u00a0 The poison that was intended for insect prey is powerful enough to cause serious problems for humans as well.\u00a0 Children and the elderly are particularly susceptible to the poison of the black widow. Black widow bites can cause abdominal pain, nausea, profuse sweating, and swelling at the bite site.\u00a0 The bite from a female black widow spider is poisonous but one from a male black widow is not.<\/p>\n
