However, would it be better to get medical attention if you have high blood pressure or other issues? Dr's can counter this if blood pressure gets too high. Someone mentioned on here about ROBC. He actually went to the ER a few times over bites. When I got into the hobby in 2006 I learned a few things from him. He was a great guy and had alot or knowledge.If you feel like this is going to cause a certain amount of discomfort or potentially be dangerous it's best to be safe. I have never received a bite.. from any tarantula. But if I got hit by a OW I'm going to the ER. But that's me.Just my 2 cents.</blockquote>
