Once you start with the experiment, I'd like to hear you make the above statement again especially if you use a T. blondi...

okay i will make the above statemant again

peeps please, if you are going to add a comment, let it only be to help, please no trying to scare the people or negative comments. no one is forced to do this, so please we need as much help as possible...

@nightfangs thanks for the pick... do you know perhaps what t did that?

No offense, but people should be scared.
Chat to Heteroscuderia who had a few hospital visits after being flicked. Or go read what happens if you inhale some of the U-hairs or get it in your eyes.
Not a joke.
Whoever takes this on, should know what they are putting themselves through.
There is no way I would even consider doing this.
Try explaining this to your medical aid when you need to have surgery to remove hairs from your eyes.

Then on a second note, how are you going to get spider venom into people? Are you going to milk the spiders and inject it? Or just piss them off enough to get to bite someone?
Who will be potentially sacrificing their spiders for this?
Will have to get some expert in milking spiders to do it at a cost of course.
If you just get them to bite, I can see people flinching and spiders going flying to their death.
Would be nice to see results from an experiment like this, but don't think you have thought it all through.

Can't find the species im afraid, only mentions the following: a theraphosid spider in Argentina

By the way, don't take that post as being negative or to scare anyone. But if you (or anyone for that matter) plans on going through with this, it's important to understand what could happen so you can be prepared. Being a scientist myself, you should appreciate researching all possiblities, good and bad.

These experiments need to be done by the right people! doent be an idiot!
