I was reading a website which described possible symptoms that one could obtain from a tarantula bite and one of these was paralysis! The website does state that this would be temporary. Other symptoms mentioned were myonecrosis and 'localised death of muscle cell fibres.' I have read various sources which mention symptoms that would likely result from tarantula bites though I have never come across these particular symptoms described before. I must say that these symptoms sound quite severe.
I am planning to obtain an Australian tarantula which are usually known to inflict the worst symptoms of any tarantula bite. If I am unlucky to get bitten oneday, I am hoping that I won't experience any of the symptoms mentioned above (but I do expect that I'll have to put up with the usual pain and swelling and possible nausea.) Can any of the knowledgeable board members here confirm whether the symptoms described from the website are really plausible in regards to tarantula bites?
This is the site below which describes the possible effects of bites.
