A CASE REPORT OF VENEZUELAN SUNTIGER TARANTULA (PSALMOPOEUS IRMINIA) ENVENOMATION AND REVIEW OF TARANTULA EXPOSURES

Abstract

Tarantula envenomations are encountered infrequently but may increase with increased exotic animal ownership. This case report presents the first documented toxicity from a Venezuelan suntiger tarantula (VST), Psalmopoeus irminia, and provides a general framework for approaching patients with tarantula exposures.
