ABSTRACT
The risk of envenomations by venomous exotic spiders have not been well recognized in Japan. Two cases of finger bite from Asian pet tarantula, Haplopelma lividum (Cobalt blue), are reported. In both cases, initial severe pain and inflammatory signs were completely healed with only symptomatic treatments within several hours. In one case, arthritic stiffness lasted for a few weeks following bite but resulted no permanent deficit. Bites from Haplopelma lividum seemed relatively harmless like other various tarantulas, although the composition of the venom has been unknown.
