Do spiders bite?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
Yes they do. They suck the blood from you if a spider bites. Some spiders have poisonous venom too. But not all of them bite, some don't.

A good many can bite, but spiders are not the biters people think. Spiders are not bloodsuckers and just run around biting people.

Some spiders will bite if trapped or smacked against the skin, or otherwise provoked. A mama spider guarding young or eggs may bite to protect her young.

Most spiders are reluctant to bite, but if they mistake a finger for a bug they may try to bite.

I have handled thousands of spiders over 50 years, and only bitten 6 times. Trapping spiders under clothing, or my bad for trapping them between fingers or provoking them.

Except two widow bites, the rest were hardly more than just another bug bite.

Some do, and some don't. It all depends on the type of spider.

depends cause some are dangerous and they do bite but others don't. mostly the giant ones bite

Of course.

Some do

Yes,but only when they need to.
