Tailed forest spider uses its specialized mouthparts as a means of subduing prey. When it bites with its mouthparts, it injects a toxin that is typically mild and mainly affects smaller animals like insects and other arthropods. The toxin acts swiftly to incapacitate the prey, allowing tailed forest spider to feed. Adult tailed forest spider are the ones to exhibit this behavior, using toxicity as an adaptable strategy to secure meals. The effect of the toxin can vary, but generally leads to rapid impairment in the afflicted animals.

Tailed forest spider is not characterized by biting humans. Instances of such behavior in this species are remarkably rare, if occurring at all. Typically, this species may only bite humans in self-defense or when provoked. Such bites are usually harmless with mild, localized symptoms.

Tailed forest spider, given its family and order, isn't known for frequently interacting with or being detrimental to humans. When rare instances of trouble do occur, they are primarily due to accidental contact as tailed forest spider defends itself if provoked or threatened, leading to mild, localized discomfort.

To prevent the rare troubles caused by tailed forest spider, avoid disturbing their natural habitats such as weaving webs in gardens or forests. Be mindful when handling garden vegetation, storage spaces, or any areas where tailed forest spider may reside to minimize accidental contact with these creatures.

Should one encounter physical discomfort due to tailed forest spider, cleaning the area with soap and water is typically sufficient, and cold compresses can alleviate any local discomfort. Keep the area clean and monitor for changes. During recovery, refrain from scratching the site to prevent secondary infection, keeping in mind that significant symptoms are exceedingly rare and majority of encounters are harmless.
