Black widow spiders are considered dangerous, although, it is rare to experience any long term complications or die from being bitten by a black widow. You may not notice that you have been bitten by a black widow right away or you may experience a sharp pain. There are several factors that will determine how severe the bite is including where you were bitten on your body, how much venom the black widow injected into you, or your own sensitivity. The venom affects the nervous system by traveling up the blood stream. Symptoms of being bitten by a black widow are severe cramping, tremors, fever, and trouble breathing.
