But are they? Which spiders are poisonous to humans? I’m not saying they aren’t, but I have a gut feeling that most spider venom or anything else inside a spider potentially poisonous to a human wouldn’t survive the digestive tract. I could be totally wrong though.
In addition, you may smack an insect that walks on your skin, thus smashing it to a pulp, that turns out to be toxic.
In addition, some wild tribes has been using small toxic animals, insects and alike to create liquid “juices”, they then poured on the arrows and tips of spears. It’s possible that even a skin-contact with such a substance may lead to unpleasant effects. I’d have to check the details, though.
The question wasn’t about toxins, but about absorbing spiders via skin, which is funny, but imprecise idea. And the answer to it, is indeed uricating hair. You also completely and conveniently skipped the “natural toxins” as used by wild tribes.
I assume you are being satirical… but it does bring up the question as to which ones would actually be poisonous (to a human?) Are there any, really?
I’m not making jokes.
The question was whether spiders are venomous or poisonous and the answer is that they might be both.
Why somebody would try to eat a spider is entirely different question and I provided some answers to that too…

People absorb spiders through their skin?!
Not quite, but yes.

Now… You made the claim that eating a bowl of spiders is harmless.
Photo, recording of you doing so, please.
And please, stop trolling, because that’s what you’re doing.
Are you saying that you don’t? You freak!
