mg to gr conversion error?
I dont have access to the article, but the LD50 amounts are vastly different between the mg and gram conversions on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M00n-sl473r (talk • contribs) 04:25, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Proposed move at Black Widow.
For any editors concerned, there is a proposed moved at the disambiguation page Black Widow. If you have anything to add to the discussion, please do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Black_Widow#Proposed_move Weebro55 (talk) 03:52, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Medical significance
The assertion that the bite of the Northern black widow is not medically significant differs from most sources. As this species is closely related to the Southern and Western black widows (in fact at one time all three were considered one species) its venom is chemically the same. Wouldn't a bite from this spider be no less significant than from one of the other species? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.232.90 (talk) 03:36, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Found a link from a medical site that explained this species bite. Hopefully that takes care of the reference. Lucky Foot (talk) 12:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
