Eaten By: ,

The Western Black Widow is pretty common in Slab City. They are more abundant in the warmer months when the cricket population is at it's peak, which is a great food source for Black Widows.

Black Widows can give a very painful and venomous bite. Unless you're allergic, you shouldn't require medical attention. Make sure to properly clean the bite area and keep it from getting infected while it heals. The resulting infections due to lack of care is what makes Black Widow bites dangerous.
