According to Dr. G.B. Edwards, an arachnologist with the Florida State Collection of Arthropods in Gainesville, the brown widow venom is twice as potent as black widow venom. However, they do not inject as much venom as a black widow, are very timid, and do not defend their web.

The black widow is more venomous than the brown recluse. Black widow venom contains neurotoxins that can cause severe symptoms such as muscle cramps, pain, and in rare cases, death. Brown recluse venom is cytotoxic and can cause tissue damage at the bite site, but is usually less severe than black widow venom.
