Is the broad-Faced Sac Spider poisonous?
Trachelid spiders usually do not bite, and may only bite when they feel coerced. Their toxicity is limited, and like most ordinary spiders, people who are bitten do not have to worry about their lives. After being bitten, the wound will be red, swollen and itchy, and the pain is comparable to that of a bee or wasp sting.
