A black widow spider's venom is fifteen times as venomous as a rattlesnake, but it gives it in such small doses that it is rarely fatal. It is possible to have an allergic reaction to the venom, but this is not common. The short answer to the question is No, the venom is usually not deadly, but you should still see a doctor.

Yes, their bites are extremely deadly to humans. *On an off topic, daddy longlegs are supposed to be the most poisonous spider of all, but their teeth aren't sharp enough to affect humans apparently. But I digress.

Some times they are . They can also cause irreversible brain damage when left untreated. Always have any bites that become inflamed , are very painful, or deveop a target-like ring around them be evaluated by a doctor.If severe headahce, fever, double-vision, sweating or disorientation or any really odd thing follows a bite, see a doctor or go to an Urgent Care Center or ER.

The black widow spider is very dangerous and can cause a variety of different symptoms. The venom in a black widow spider is reported to be fifteen times stronger than a rattlesnake's. Bites can produce muscle aches, nausea, and paralysis of the diaphragm. Fortunately the Spiders are non-aggressive and only bite in self defense, like when someone sits on them.
