Adult female black widow spider questions. - ZeldaClassicEXPERT - 08-03-2015

#1: How many deaths that you know of (links are okay to post if the websites are completely safe to visit) are there after Thursday February 12, 1987 due to a single venomous bite by an adult female black widow spider?


#2: Like #1: but more than one venomous bite.


#3: Why exactly is a venomous bite by an adult female black widow spider bite much more serious in the left neck artery than in the arm?

YES I love ZCE's topics. They're stellar and informative. I sometimes wonder if answering ZCE's questions correctly counts as an act of goodwill and results in a clearer path to the afterlife.

?? I'm not really sure what BlueBlur's done wrong.

I'm not really sure how to address #1 or #2, but

As BlueBlur stated, it takes a much shorter time for the venom to travel through your left neck artery than it would be somewhere in your arm (except maybe the brachial artery [the "pit" opposite your elbow]) because

1) it's a larger, more direct flow of blood throughout your body
2) the neck is a whole heck of a lot to your heart than your arm.




Why does this come up, though ZCE? Were you bitten by a black widow spider the other day? Do you want to talk about it? ):
