Dangerous spiders in Czech nature
One of the greatest dangers that spiders in the Czech Republic were to be poisonous until recently. This spider occurs mainly in Central and South Bohemia and South Moravia. Unlike conventional spiders, such as Crusaders or Poiders, it can easily bite human skin.
The bite of the dresser is considered painful and its poison can cause symptoms such as fever, nausea or feelings of anxiety. The pain of her bites is often compared to stinging a hornets or bees. This spider builds a nest in the grass, where he cares for his clutch, and just carefully tie it to react. Thus, these meetings can be very unpleasant for humans.
Another spider, which can be a more serious threat, is the Moravian steppe known for its distinctive red buttocks. This spider lives mainly in South Moravia and its bites are very poisonous. After a bite, one can feel fever, nausea and also accelerated heart rate.
In connection with global warming, other species are beginning to appear in the Czech Republic, which were previously rather a rarity. The hunting small -scale, which is larger and strongly poisonous, does not normally live in the Czech Republic, but with gradual shifting thermophilic species to the north, it can gradually change. The bite of this spider is painful and can cause temporary paralysis of the muscle at the bite place, which gives this species a great potential to become a threat in the future.
What to watch out for
Although there are no spider species in Czech nature that would be immediately fatal to humans, it is important to realize that some of you may be allergic to certain substances contained in spider poison. Although the bite of most spiders usually does not cause serious problems, in some cases it can cause unpleasant reactions. So if you suspect that a poisonous spider bites you, it is better not to wait and seek professional medical attention to avoid possible complications.
