Some spiders are poisonous, some are venomous...
I mean probably, I aint eating a bunch of venomous spiders to find out which ones are poisonous.
I ate roasted spiders.
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...
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.

Poisonous spiders release their toxins when they are inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the tissue or skin
People absorb spiders through their skin?!
Not quite, but yes.

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.
Are you saying that you don't? You freak!
Even if Brown Recluse spiders are poisonous, they are definitely ALSO venomous, and of the two traits it's only the venom that's ever going to be relevant right? I mean, who's eating Brown Recluse spiders?
I mean, who’s eating Brown Recluse spiders?
Hungry, extravagant, rich, insane, children...
But who would be reddited enough to touch a spider?
Steve Irwin.
Is this a 'who eats who' lemma?
