Toxic to Animals

Adanson's house jumper, a spider, possesses a mild toxin that is secreted through its fangs, mainly as a defense mechanism or to subdue prey. The adult spiders are the ones that pose a potential threat. When they bite, humans might experience minor discomfort or a small, local reaction. Mice and other small mammals could have a similar mild reaction. For much smaller creatures like flies and bees, the toxin can be more dangerous, potentially causing paralysis or death.

Rectangle
Bite Humans

Adanson's house jumper is not known to commonly bite humans. Bites are rare and typically occur only if the spider is directly threatened or mishandled. When adanson's house jumper does bite, they employ their chelicerae to defensively inject mild venom, resulting in negligible consequences for a human, often less severe than a bee sting.
