The incident happened on Main Street in Ballymahon, Co. The Noble False Widow can deliver a venomous bite capable of causing swelling and intense pain for a few days, while some victims have experienced tremors, nausea, or reduced or elevated blood pressure. In some cases, the spider can cause persistent stiffness in limbs and hospitalizations. In rare instances, victims developed minor wounds at the bite site or had to be treated for severe bacterial infections.
The scientists published their research in the medical journal Clinical Toxicology and stated that some bite victims will experience symptoms similar to the true Black Widow spider. Last year, researchers discovered that of the toxins found in Noble False Widow venom were also common in true Black Widow spider venom. The Noble False Widow spider was first detected in Britain more than years ago but only began significantly increasing its population numbers around the world in the last two decades.
Scientists say that a new genetic mutation within the spider has made it more adaptable to new environments, while the spider has also benefitted from an increasingly globalized economy.
Michael Dugon, the head of the Venom Systems Laboratory at NUIG and a senior author of the report, said that the species is here to stay in Ireland and that people must learn to live with it. He also said that most bites occur when people are sleeping or when they are putting clothes on in the morning.
Dugon encouraged people to shake out their clothes before putting them on if they lived in an area with a sizeable Noble False Widow population.
He also said that the prevalence of the species in Ireland was frightening from an ecological and health point of view. News Vicious False Widow spiders are now 'rampant' in certain parts of Ireland.
