No, you can eat them with no ill effects. They are quite good roasted.
If you mean, "Are they venomous?" the answer is "Yes." As Spiders go, their venom is not as dangerous to people as some other spiders' and a bite will be painful but not usually life-threatening. It is about as bad as a wasp sting. That is not to discount the possibility that you might be deathly allergic to the venom.
If one bites you, ice the wound and seek a medical opinion. Capturing the spider to show the doctor (for positive identification) is not a bad idea if you can do it without getting bitten again.

∙ 14y agoThe venom of the Orb Weaver is potent, but not dangerous to humans. Its venom is a neurotoxin similar to that of the black widow. However, its venom is not near as potent.
Orb weavers are reluctant to bite. Symptoms are usually negligible or mild local pain, numbness and swelling, with redness and possibly blisters forming. Occasionally nausea and dizziness can occur after a bite. Any pain should go away within 24 hours.

What do orb weaver spiders eat?
orb weavers eat any kind of flying insect that gets caught in their web. if you are caring for one i would say just don't put something in there that's too huge. spiders in general just eat any kind of insect they can get their fangs on. mealworms, crickets, flies, moths, butterflies, beetles, etc. one thing i don't know is how often they have to eat. I'm almost positive orb weavers don't have to eat every day though. but I'm not sure if you should feed them once a week or every couple of days.
