What Is a Spider Bite?
There are not many spider species harmful to a human. Only a handful have fangs long enough to penetrate human skin and venom strong enough to cause severe symptoms. In the United States, out of all identified 3,500 spider species, only a few of them are considered dangerous. These notably include Black Widow, Tarantula, Black Recluse, and Hobo Spider. But even if you encounter one of these species, you are not in danger, as it is unlikely to attract a spider’s attention and get its fangs on you.
