However, all spiders are venomous. Maybe not able to damage us, they they all have fangs that contain some sort of venom. And Rose, they are venomous not poisonous. Poisonous is when you eat something and that makes you sick--spiders, wasps, scorpions ect. are have venom though I wouldn't want to eat any of them to see if they sicken me like a poisonous mushroom wouldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-25393458881932626882013-09-26T08:36:07.614-05:002013-09-26T08:36:07.614-05:00Thanks.

Its preferred host is a cat, so It makes rats and mice that are infected with it act in such a way as to attract the attention of cats, thus increasing the likelihood of the rodent being eaten.<br /><br />Or the nasty parasite that resides in the soil and infects ants. Its preferred host is sheep, so it acts on the ants' neural system to force them to climb to the tips of blades of grass (which they normally avoid) where they're more likely to be eaten by grazing sheep.

Unless it was a black widow or brown recluse or something dangerous, why not leave it alone instead of drowning the poor thing in a pool of poison. (Which he then probably tracked inside his house, poisoning his own environment.) Spiders are beneficial, people. If nothing else, they eat mosquitoes and other bothersome insects.
