Despite the popularity of theraphosids, detailed reports on bite symptoms are still limited to few geographic regions and subfamilies. We therefore examined 363 published bite reports and noticed muscles cramps caused by theraphosids from nearly all continents and subfamilies. Symptoms are mostly locally restricted and mild, but 12.7% of victims experience pronounced cramps with highest incidence rates by Poecilotheriinae, Harpactirinae and Stromatopelminae subfamilies. We discuss how variations in venom quantity correlate with muscle cramp prevalence.
尽管狼蛛科非常受欢迎，但有关咬伤症状的详细报告仍然仅限于少数地理区域和亚科。因此，我们检查了 363 份已发表的咬伤报告，注意到几乎来自所有大陆和亚科的狼蛛科都会引起肌肉痉挛。症状主要局限于局部且轻微，但有 12.7%的受害者出现明显的痉挛，其中发生率最高的是华丽雨林属、捕鸟蛛属和华丽巨螯蛛属亚科。我们讨论了毒液量的变化如何与肌肉痉挛的流行程度相关。
