| In regards to being allergic to bee stings it makes no difference a tarantulas venom is completely different then a bees. Tarantula venom has more enzyme qualities to it, were as a bees is a neurotoxin designed to trigger pain receptors so being allergic or not being allergic to a bee will make absolutely no difference to getting tagged by a tarantula bite.

Boy that came out of the blue..LOL You are right you cannot be allergic to tarantula venom, however that is not true of other spiders. Just the ones in the Theraphosidae family which belong to the suborder of Mygalomorphae. In the mygalmorphae family you do have other spiders that have caused death like the Sydney Funnel web spider. If bitten by a new world species it would hurt you but only at the point of the injection. No different really then if you stuck yourself with a needle. Now old world species on the other hand is different. They still don't cause deaths but the venom is different. It is a much more painful bite, not only pain but also swelling and maybe the lost of mobility in the injection site. It may not kill you but for a while you may wish it had. A old world bite is considered medically significant, usually they will tell you to take Advil and some Benadryl. As with any bite or wound the important thing to do is cleanse the area so that you don't get it infected.
