The hairs aren't poisonous, but they are barbed; kind of like getting fiberglas fishhooks in your eyes. Releasing them seems to be a self-defense mechanism. Here's an ABC News story about one such incident.

Me neither. I ain't gonna put tarantulas anywhere near my eyes ever again. In fact, I think 4.7 miles is the closest I will voluntarily allow one to approach... Maybe 4.9.
On the other hand, they DO make for a good excuse to drink a lot of wine and dance the Tarantella! Stitchawl Last edited by Stitchawl; 01-18-2013 at 06:41 AM. |
