Survives Black Widows Bite
w. j. Baerg of University of Arkansas
Describes Test With Spider.

THE 1actrodectus mactans has
been the victim of lot of
poorly advised publicity. 1t
seems.
known among its more intimate
acouaintances as the black widow
spider. the arachnid. mistakenly
termed an insect, has been pictured
as a deadly creature with no good
will for anybody. It's bite, it was
said, was equivalent to q one-way
ticket to Heaven.
It all maybe so, but the American
Nature Association, willing to give
every spider its day in court, comes
to the front with tale Of the expert
ences of one of its contrtbut ors. w.
]. Baerg of the University Of Arkansas
was the voluntary guinea pig"
Black Widow Is. Shy.
The principal results Of his expert
ment follow in brief:
The black widow is inclined to be
shy but will bite human beings If pro-
voked suficiently. It's bite causes
considerable discomfort, but much Of
the pain may be allayed by frequent
hot baths. The bite is not fatal and
bad effects pass away in about three
days.
These findings held in Mr.. Baerg's
case, but nc blanket recommendation
is made that all of our readers go
out and make faces at black widow
spiders. II you wish to, however, look
for a spider about half an inch In
length with red spot shaped like
an hour glass on the under side OF
its abdomen. The front and hind
legs are relatively long and slender.
Let Mr.. Baerg tell his story:
IN order to determine definitely
whether the black widow is relatively
harmless, or decidedly poisonous, I
undertook some experiments in which
the spider was induced to bite first
several white rats, and later me. In
these experiments the shyness of the
spider presented the most serious diff
fculty. It Is not very easy to hold
without hurting 1t or making 1t I'M
comfortable, and 1t was only after
many unsuccessful attempts that I
learned how to induce it to bite. 1t
was slow to anger.
White Rats Became Ill.
white rats about a month old
showed a decided response to the bite
of the black widow. They appeared
i'll, bumped with the head turned I'M
derneath till the face rested on the
floor of the cage, they walked I'M

untary movements indicated mild con-
WILSON'S. The test on rats was made o
number of times. and the effects va
ried rather widely; in some cases the
response was relatively slight, and
lasted but for a short time. In the
severest cases the effects lasted from
6 to 10 hours. In no case did q
rat die.
Prom these observations judged
that those psychologists who regarded
1t as innocent were probably right.
and that on man the spider would
produce only mild effects. Therefore,
when I at last succeeded In inducing
it to bite me (on the basal joint of
the third finger Of the left hand),
allowed 1t to hold on for several
seconds.
Almost Immediately there was a
sharp pain in the finger, and in 20
minutes 1t had extended to the shoul-
der. In little more than two hours
there was considerable pain in the
chest and in the hips, and five hours
after the bite took place breathing
and talking seemed to meet with some
dtf1culty. Apparently the diaphragm
was slightly affected.
BY this time the pain had spread
to the knees and 1t soon extended to
the toes. The pain was q sort Of an
aching sensation all over the body;
in the hand that was bitten the pain
was much sharper There was only
moderate swelling in the hand. Ac-
companying these symptoms there was
a low fever between 80 and 100 de-
grees, FL and this state Of affairs
lasted for about three days.
"Of the various remedies that were
applied. only bathing in hot water had
any appreciable effect. On learning

Taking q general view Of my expe-
riences with the black widow, it may
be said that although somewhat un-
pleasant, IL had more than enough
adventure In Il to make up for this
feature. 1t was possible to get q re-
liable record Of the symptoms caused
by the poison, and to determine ac-
curateiy that the bite of the creature
may have decidedly painful effects on
man. It has not, so far as I know,
ever caused death, and only under
the greatest provocation can it be
made to attack humans"

California are walking around with
spray guns loaded with poison, their
objective being to kill as many black
