Tarantulas are venomous not poisonous. Venom bites you. You bite poison. All tarantulas have a form of venom. The difference is a new world tarantula kicks urticating satae or hairs and old world does not. Old world Tarantulas have medically significant venom, meaning it can cause nerve damage and pain in the bite site for 2 to 6 months. It should not kill you unless you have a serious allergy. New world tarantulas have non medically significant venom and can cause pain on an average of up to 6 weeks.
