Tarantulas generally bite people only in self-defence. Its venom is comparable to a wasp sting. Its urticating hairs, which it releases when threatened, are a severe irritant to skin and mucous membranes.1

When threatened, it rubs its setae together to make a hissing sound, and rubs its abdomen with its hind legs to release irritating hairs.1
