    It’s also most likley wrong. I don’t know where this guys get this information but I was unable to find any source to back that up.

    And common sense would suggest, they are infact not poisonous.

    For example, spiders are a really, really popular prey and get eaten by reptiles, mammal, birds and other athropods and they don’t die of poisonous as a result.

    And while I can’t find any souce and tests with spider venom, snake venom has been tested when ingested. And while it can indeed cause harm, the dose required is vastly higher. As spiders venom is usually less potatent than snake venom and they are usually smaller, you’d need to eat a lot of spiders to feel any kind of posioning effect.
