But there is no truly long-term effect. Brown recluse bites sometimes cause major necrosis and the result can be a large wound that takes a long time to heal. Doubtless there would be some scarring after the necrosis is gone. But widow venom does not have any of these effects, at least as far as I know. read more

Other short-term symptoms may include nausea, fever, sweating, tremors, difficulty breathing, increased blood pressure, anxiety and restlessness. According to Ask the Exterminator, it is rare for the black widow spider's bite to cause serious long-term complications or death. read more

According to"Sheehy's Emergency Nursing Principles and Practice," the person develops cramping and spasms in the local muscle groups near the site of the bite, which then spreads to a larger area of muscle groups. read more
