TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Envenomation by spiders of the genus Hololena (Araneae: Agelenidae) JO - Toxicon: Journal of the International Society on Toxinology A1 - Vetter, Richard S. SP - 312 EP - 314 VL - 60 IS - 3 N2 - Three verified bites from Hololena spiders (Family Agelenidae) are presented here. Two male victims, each over 100 kg weight, (bitten by female spiders) experienced headaches and 4-hour episodes of vomiting. A female bite victim (bitten by a male spider) experienced minor reaction. None sought medical attention; symptoms resolved in a few days. Although these incidents were not serious, reactions in the male victims were more dynamic than usual generic spider bites (minor edema, minor erythema).
