Poison Sac Spider Stories
These stories did not occur in the jungles of the Amazon or tropical Africa, not even in Central Asia. An inconspicuous at first glance yellow sak spider bit a man in the Krasnodar Territory. Right at home! His second relative in the Voronezh region stung a seven-year-old child. Another case - a woman living in Togliatti suffered. Is it an accident or the threat of being bitten has really increased? We will tell you how to recognize a dangerous spider and what to do if “dating” could not be avoided.
Poisonous Arthropod Identification
Yellow heiracantium or sak is a typical representative of predatory spiders, which use poison of neuroparalytic action as a “hunting” weapon. Considering that the hunter himself is small (average size - 5–10 mm), he chooses small insects - moths, aphids, caterpillars, ticks as a victim.
Interesting! For its “contribution” to the control of agricultural pests, heyrakantium has gained a reputation as an entomophage - a useful predator. Each year, each individual destroys more than 2000 harmful larvae and insects.
How to recognize
In the descriptions, the sak spider appears as a representative of the family with a bright appearance.
Females are larger than males. Some individuals in the leg span reach 2–2.5 cm, the body itself has a more modest size - 7–15 mm.
The spider is called yellow for the color of the abdomen. It is bright yellow or beige; in some types of heiracantium, a reddish longitudinal strip is visible on the back. The cephalothorax is orange, with a powerful oral apparatus. Compared to the small size, the jaw-chelicera are simply huge, ending with curved claws. With their help, the Sak spider bites through the solid chitinous shell of insects and injects poison.
Heyrakantium has characteristics that allow you to quickly identify it.
- Significant yellow-orange coloring.
- Instead of a radial web, spider web weaves. A dense thread randomly braids inaccessible places, building a kind of cocoon.
- He runs fast, can jump (do not try to sweep him with a broom!).
- For a nest, selects secluded places. Settles under stones, in grass, folded leaves. If it penetrates into a dwelling, it chooses corners where it is not disturbed by cleaning for months.
Where is it found?
The genus Heyrakantium, to which the sak spider belongs, consists of 194 species, lives in Europe, Asia, Africa, is found in Australia, America. In the post-Soviet space a couple of decades ago, representatives of the genus were well known to residents of the southern regions - Central Asia, the Caucasus, Crimea, Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region, and steppe Ukraine.
The abnormally hot summer of recent years has contributed to the fact that flocks of arthropods began to migrate northward. Now a poisonous spider can be found in the suburbs, the Volga region, southern Siberia, throughout the middle lane.
Interesting! One of the ways the heyrakantium spreads to the north is migration with motor vehicles. In search of a safe place, spiders often clog in the truck cracks, there have been cases of settlement among the pipes of the fuel system.
How does it live and breed?
Spider Sak is a nocturnal predator. He attacks in a jump, bites through the chitinous shell and releases poison. Under its influence, the insect insides turn into a “broth”, which the hunter with pleasure sucks.
Arthropod lives 1 year.The female lays eggs by the end of summer, after a few weeks spiders come out of them. She is a devoted and selfless mother. Protects a cocoon with eggs, and then hatched spiders to the last, in the literal sense of the word, sigh. In some types of heiracanthiums, the grown up children eat the mother (the phenomenon of matriphagy).
Why are they referred to the ten most poisonous arachnids?
The bite of the yellow sak spider is not as terrible as, for example, karakurt, but its poison is toxic. According to the first symptoms, it resembles a bite. hermit spider, which not only causes panic in the victim, but also misleads the doctors. By the way, most doctors in regions where dangerous arachnid has appeared recently generally find it difficult to diagnose a bite.
The consequences of a bite of yellow sack. What to do?
Heyrakantium sharp jaws damages the skin, and not just stings the upper layer of the epithelium, as, for example, argiope. Therefore, the bite of a spider sak causes a violent protective reaction of the body, can lead to unpredictable consequences.
- Accompanied by burning pain, which then becomes dull.
- The bite area quickly swells, turns red.
- The bite site itches, blisters appear on the wounds left by chelicera. Local soft tissue necrosis may occur, in which the wound does not heal for weeks.
- Concomitant symptoms - chills, headache, nausea (shown in detail in the diagram). The strength of manifestation depends on the individual characteristics of the body. More vulnerable to allergy bites.
- Arthropods can be a carrier of infections.
If a yellow sack or other poisonous spider has bitten, what should I do first?
- Treat the wound with a solution of potassium permanganate, alcohol tincture of calendula.
- Apply a cold compress to the bite site. For effectiveness, add soda at the rate of 1 tsp. into a glass of water.
- It is advisable to immediately take an antiallergic drug (suprastin, tavegil).
After this, the victim must be shown to the doctor.
How to avoid "dating"
To avoid encountering a sak spider, take precautions.
- Do not walk in the woods in open clothes.
- Work in the garden, in the garden with gloves.
- Do not touch the spiders.
- Do not kill them on the body, but only after you shake off.
- Clean inaccessible areas more often.
Advice! The yellow sack jumps when attacking, so carefully cover the spider found in the room with a glass jar, and place a sheet of cardboard under the neck. Only after that, turn the jar over, take it out to the street, direct a stream of insecticide into the container.
Heyrakantium itself is afraid of people and attacks only for the purpose of self-defense. It shows the greatest aggression if you disturb it in the nest and when it gets under your clothes.

I already killed 2 in the apartment
It was the summer of 2017, a private house, I’m standing with my sister-in-law chatting, I’m not sleeping at night to fly home, I’m sitting on the porch and then I feel something crawling, well, I think I’m brushing some kind of insect with my hand and then I’ve got wild pain, burning, I’ve looked and there the spider later found out that it was Yellow Sak, we don’t know what to do, the first time it was, it immediately occurred to me to suck the poison from my finger,then the antihistamine inside and the antihistamine ointment, kept ice on the finger for nothing, the finger instantly turned white, reddened, the hand began to hurt, and soon the plane plus I was a nursing mother so I couldn’t get painkillers, I couldn’t sleep because of pain fall asleep, upon arrival at the pharmacy, finistil, fastum, nothing helps, the only thing that became TRAKSEVAZIN, smeared often on the second day after the bite, the swelling noticeably passed, the pain is not so strong, on the third generally passed, maybe just the action of the poison passed, in any case smear will not be worse.
Frolovo Volgograd region
The dog gnawed, the pain was a hellish day. (just to understand, the pain, as if every second the hornets sting the whole hand and so on for a day) after a bite after about 15 hours, I found that if you lower the bite in warm water, it becomes easier!
I am 14 years old, I am engaged in the study, treatment, breeding of wild and domestic various animals, insects, arachnids, etc. And in the Saratov region (I live in the village), I also observed and dealt with the yellow spider Sak. To watch and display their unreal extreme, but it helped me. To understand everything more and to watch through the glass for hunting is an amazing sight! And then I directed my goals on how to treat people and animals from his bites. honestly, the bites of an agriop (the more often than others are contacting me) are much easier. If one helps alcohol, then give the other a sea of medicines (figuratively speaking), not a fact that will help. Well, this seems to be due to a different immune system. I was treated with his bite twice in my life. In general, rarely does anyone come, because if there was a matter in two weeks, then what a joy!
I live in Almaty, today I tried to attack this brother, SAC, jumped and almost bit him, they have already reached us.
We in Orsk also appeared such spiders. Yesterday I bit this at my daughter’s apartment, but today I found a second one. Maybe someone knows how to drive them out of the apartment, or how you can recognize their whereabouts.
Today we rested at the cottage, it is located in Chausovo 1 near Pervomaisk, Mykolayiv region and we saw a spider when dad strangled him, we saw who the spider was ASK, we immediately realized that because last year my mother was bitten by this spider, my mother was very ill for 2 days in resuscitation, the pancake is now so scary because if we found one then there he is not alone

Yesterday we went to the country, I open the door of the car, and he, a redhead on thin legs, sits on the web. I wanted to brush him off, but he quickly jumped and ran under the car. He managed to bite by the ring finger of his left hand. The pain was very acute right away, as if the wasp had removed. The finger is swollen, the arm hurts all the way to the ear. Ears stuffed, fever, did not sleep all night. Under a stream of cold water is easier. Saw antihistamines yesterday and today. I read everything about them. There are no deaths, but my state of health is very difficult, especially for those like me who are allergic. I live in the Primorsky Territory, 300 kilometers from the capital of the Far East, Vladivostok, in an urban-type settlement, Shmakovka resorts. So we also already exist in the Far East, probably due to the anamal heat, + 30 + 45 °
Ukraine bit 30 minutes ago in the index finger put the ice sit stoned finger burns very hard !!! I hope all be fine
Adults are not allergic! There is no need to panic about doctors either. Yesterday afternoon an adult yellow spider bit me. For the index finger. The pain immediately after the bite was very strong, soon it intensified and spread all over the palm of his hand, was patient with difficulty, cold water does not help much, everything else too. Just have to be patient. By evening, she was already driving and doing business. I drunk painkillers at night and slept well all night. In the morning, he still got sick, and by lunchtime it had passed.
So the main thing is not to panic!
Health to all!
