The TOP 5 WORST SPIDER BITES In The US!

[@katherinel8661]

Somehow never occurred to me that jumping spiders would bite. I mean, they’re spiders, and anything with teeth can bite, but I’ve had them crawl on me and never thought anything of it. They’re so curious and I love the way they watch things.

[@GettingSchwiftyy]

Jack takes it to the next level. He's not done until he gets a good bite. Lmao. That's a rare talent. Balls of steel

[@Strype13]

Fun Fact: One of the main reasons the Brown Recluse has gained such a "dangerous" or even "deadly" reputation is due to the fact that Staph infections, caused by the Staphylococcus bacteria (also known as MRSA), are often misdiagnosed as Brown Recluse bites. And considering Staph infections can be far more dangerous (sometimes even fatal) than the bite of a Brown Recluse, this has resulted in the poor spider gaining and maintaining a reputation that makes it sound far more sinister than it actually is.

[@-echoroads-5596]

Yep. Happened to me. Had a small 1/4" wound appear on my abdomen a few years back, the "doctor" immediately said it was likely a brown recluse bite despite the fact we are just outside of their range here in western NC. You can find them here, but it's EXTREMELY rare. Turned out it was MRSA upon a visit to a more qualified doctor.

[@Strype13]

@@-echoroads-5596 Yep. Many doctors make this extremely dangerous mistake. Very glad you got a second opinion and obtained a proper diagnosis before it became far more serious, my friend!

[@FinalStage4L]

I had no idea jumping spiders bites would hurt lol I learned something today hope your doing well Jack

[@chloewright1]

*YOU'RE - hope you're doing well, not your. You're is just a shortened version of "you are" The "a" is replaced with ' (an apostrophe) "Your" implies ownership of something - your hand, your coat, your shoes, etc.

[@HorrorPrincess7]

YESSS!! Always excited for a new video.

[@Vara91391]

When I was mowing the grass, somehow a Wasp Spider I didn't see was catapulted onto the side of my throat. It bit me and it was a weird feeling first, like something wet was trying to get in my flesh, no pain, just some weird wetness, then suddenly it was like a deer fly bite, like something drilling into me, I then threw what ever was on my neck away in a swift movement and saw it was a wasp spider. The bite hurt a tiny bit for like 25 mins and that was it.

[@robertkennith7866]

I have to concur, i was bitten randomly in Bancroft Ontario by a rather large jumping spider camping at a music festival, it stung like hell, i was also tripping out, which made it kind of special

[@mrchew5326]

Jack back again to set the record straight on spiders

[@nathanboyle7573]

One spider that doesn't really pose a serious threat but I want to get your take on the pain of the initial bite would be a full-grown woodlouse spider found here in our good old United States. Not really medically significant by any means but they are intimidating looking when it comes to spiders to find in your backyard as their fangs are huge in comparison to their bodies.

[@TheMattC9999]

I second this. I saw a red woodlouse spider the other day and that thing was horrifying.

[@wllwll-zh7ig]

And a large aggressive yellow sack spider.

[@AlfonseGambino]

That's a spectacular idea. I live in NY and we have them all over the place.

[@AlfonseGambino]

​@@wllwll-zh7ig They don't get very large at all or I would have burnt my house down by now.

You should come to southern Alberta, Canada next summer. I’ve been on the hunt for our elusive scorpions, sun spiders, and great short-horned lizards. Love your videos!

[@Hobert-x3i]

You actually have to force these to bite or sting you these are only defense attacks but if you catch these disturbed or frightened on their own can carry out dangerous bites and stings that can put you in the hospital possibly fighting for your life!!! An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure He who plays with fire will surelly get burned It is best to LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!

[@lilgreenleafx]

@@Hobert-x3i which are you talking about? Our sun spiders/camel spiders are pretty chill and harmless, our scorpions only have pretty mild venom. And the lizards defence mechanism is shooting stinky blood from their eyes..? The most you gotta worry about over here are rattlers and maybe the stray moose that wanders in

[@tannergrinzel1719]

A tarantula you can only die if you get bit a lot same with the wolf spider and the huntsman spider

[@Miniblonde-4244]

Using your videos to try and get over my fear… still panicked when you had the wolf spider bite you though… work in progress. Great content!

[@Kadabruche]

same. its made it easier to watch online but work in progress for real life haha

[@Strype13]

Of all the things he's taken a sting/bite from, the measly wolf spider is the one that brought you to a panic? That's... interesting... considering that's probably the most mundane, least dangerous spider he's ever handled (outside of the Daddy Longleg/Harvestman Spider or something silly like that). Suffice to say, Wolf Spiders are nothing to worry about, and are actually quite beneficial to have around the house seeing as they hunt and keep homes free of insects that are far more obnoxious than themselves. Certainly glad to hear you're making progress in overcoming your arachnophobia, though! I hope you're able to continue seeing success. 👍

[@toxicdragon323]

International trip eh? May be sometime you can check out the six eyed sand spider of Africa or the white widow. If you go back to wasps, may be you can check out the apoica wasps. They're fiesty and I hear their sting packs a bit of a punch. However, like the white widow there isn't many videos of them.

[@Tight--LiNeZ]

I would love you to come to New Zealand and try our widow spider, the Katipo, our Avondale spider (used in the movie Arachnophobia, our most hated spider the Whitetail (that there's much controversy over: Some say they get left with a necrotic wound days later, and many get nothing. Whitetails only prey on other spiders, manly the Daddy Long Legs). Then there's the Nelson Cave Spider, that pray on Cave Weta (the heaviest insect on Earth) so have to be huge in leg span. I don't think anyone has documented the bite of one of these. Plus we have a large species of centipede, one that has bright blue legs and appendages. Not to mention all the other weird fauna NZ has to offer. Cheers bro.

[@JacksWorldofWildlife]

Would love to make it out to NZ!!! Maybe sometime soon!

[@GamerFrisco]

how bad are the southwestern trap door/american funnel web spiders? I live in Mexico City and have seen some of those trying to get into my house, i was very scared the first time i saw one because of how much they look like Atrax robustus

[@JacksWorldofWildlife]

They would likely be somewhere between tarantula and brown widow. Their bites would likely be fairly painful, but still not super dangerous in terms of their venom.

[@GrandDukeMushroom]

Are you sure it was a brown recluse? I heard they are only native to some areas in America, hence in some states basically all of the sightings are actually slighty different spiders Either way yikes! LOL

[@ezkempinkemp3467]

I was bitten by a black when I was working in my garage and unknowingly sit on her web. I felt the bite as she bit me through my jeans. Those things have some fangs. I had rock hard abs for about three days, heart palpitations and problems breathing but the worst was I had to get on medicine for panic attacks for about six months.

[@taralepore]

The way you be mocking coyote😂😂

[@zeroplanet9]

Coyote impression on point

[@joshuawhitworth6456]

I could be wrong but one time I had a yellow sac spider crawling around my room. I woke up one day with what felt a large zit on my neck and it like a week to heal and I felt pretty crappy the whole time. I am guessing the sac spider bit me but it could have been something else. I would let spiders live in my room to keep the mosquitos down. I would rather be bit by something that's not known to spread disease like spiders. I think it worked pretty good. I never ha a hobo spider bite me. I woke one morning with a hobo spider running around on my pillow and went back to sleep. It never bothered me. I just don't like it when they get in the tub, or sink where they are in my way. I usually put those ones outside.

[@grasonroylance5603]

Black Widows are so amazing. I thought I remember you saying the Red Widow was worse?

[@JacksWorldofWildlife]

It’s unclear, though the few I’ve heard of have been more similar to brown widow in terms of effects. With black widows being much larger and much more widespread, they’re by far the more dangerous spider.

[@Unseen0161]

The withdrawal Widow, that's what it seems like when you get bit by a widow like you're coming off drugs just absolute dog crap feeling joints and aching all over feel like you're running a fever pins and needles I don't know if there's any throwing up or diarrhea probably not.. And you can't sleep and you can't stay in any one position too long so yeah that's why I call it the withdrawal Widow.

[@bigmoneycashgodzilla]

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

I was hoping you'd use descriptive phrases like, it felt like a red hot poker, I was bitten in Arkansas by a spider I have no idea what it was because I didnt see it...but it felt like a red hot poker in my skin, like I accidentally touched the metal that had been in the sun for hrs. does anyone know what that might have been, I got it laying out in the grass but I think it was hiding in the lounge chair, so I think it was a Wolf Spider, we have a lot of those here along with Black Widows and Brown Recluse and a few other wolfie type spiders like hobo's and Bold Jumpers

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

Oh I forgot to say that the bite looked like a volcano, and got a little crusty and cracked looking the next few days, but I never got sick, just a really tight swollen ankle

[@tiogah]

Do you think bite location is medically significant with something small like a spider? like if it bit you in the neck? I know a snake bite would be, but their fangs penetrate much deeper than these little spiders' fangs do. But I don't know.

[@Tight--LiNeZ]

Surely if you keep envenomating the same area on the same arm, you're going to build up a resilience to bites in that area, and get a less accurate data. Please make sure you miss the veins, as you do not want to mainline spider venom. Also puncturing a vein hurts, damages and bruises way more than just the skin next to it.

[@JacksWorldofWildlife]

Quite literally not how that works. Additionally all of these venoms are so vastly different, my body can’t “build up” a tolerance as they are all “new” venoms with each test. Venom isn’t one standard thing, it can be completely different from species to species

[@Tight--LiNeZ]

@@JacksWorldofWildlife Yeah but surely that arm is used to pain in general more than the rest of you. So it doesn't replicate an normal person being stung/bit/envenomated. Just reckon you should mix it up a bit, that's all. Even higher up on the upper arm would be good. Where u get your flu shots etc. Or on you legs. Please come and try our widow spider the Katipo and our giant blue centipedes. NZ has lots of unique creepy crawlies. Like Weta. The biggest of which is the heaviest insect on Earth. The Cave Weta.
