Killing and Eating
Technically speaking, spiders do not have teeth. However, they do have tiny pointed jaws. These are located just below their mouth. But the most dangerous part of a poisonous spider is its fangs. These are two sharp needle-like teeth, often one to two centimeters long. The inside of a fang is hollow. The fangs are connected to a gland inside the spiders mouth. This gland has venom. When a spider attacks its prey, it swings its two sharp fangs like an axe into its enemy. The fangs sink into the prey and a few milligrams of venom flows out. Sometimes, the venom just paralyzes the spider's prey. Many spiders wrap up their dead or paralyzed victim in silk and then carry it to their home. However, spiders don't eat their prey like humans do. Spiders inject digestive enzymes into the prey. This is like an acid which turns the inside of the prey into the prey into liquid. Fanally, the spider drinks the internal parts of its prey just like a milkshake.
Getting bitten
If you ever get bitten by a spider, you must immediately go to the hospital. Venom from poisonous spiders attacks the nervous system. This means you can barely move. Moreover, you usually have only a few hours to live. Serious stomach pains or dizziness also frequently occur. Since many spider bites are so small, there likely will not be any blood to see. If at all possible, try to capture the spider that bit you. This might sound crazy, but most people cannot correctly identify spiders, so the doctor at the hospital cannot give the appropriate treatment. There are no cures for some spiders bites, so becareful.
