Are Orange ant-mimic sac spider harmful to humans?

Corinnid sac spiders usually do not bite, and may only bite when feeling coerced. The bite of the round-jaw spider is not fatal, the pain is similar to that of a wasp sting, and this pain can last for several days. In addition to the same redness and swelling, many people will have different degrees of infection in the wound. Those who would have been allergic to spider venom will have a more severe systemic reaction.

Toxic to Animals

Orange ant-mimic sac spider possesses venom which is considered mild in intensity. Adult individuals deliver this venom through their fangs, with the primary route of administration being a bite. The venom has the capability to cause harm to both larger animals, such as humans and domestic pets, as well as smaller creatures including insects. Adverse reactions to a bite by orange ant-mimic sac spider can range from slight discomfort to more pronounced symptoms. The exact effects vary widely across different animal species due to variance in physiological responses to the toxin.

Bite Humans

Orange ant-mimic sac spider is not characteristic of biting humans. Should an incidental bite occur, it would likely be due to defensive behavior when threatened. Such events are rare, and any resulting effects from a bite are usually minor and localized.
