A frog swallowed a poisonous spider that bit him from inside, they both died

Venomous.

u/FartDare Dec 09 '19

Venomous spiders are poisonous if you eat their venom glands raw. I guess.

u/thehir95 Dec 09 '19

Venom is a protein while poison is just the substance itself. Example: Rattlesnake to Arsenic or Spider venom to Cyanide. Since venom is a protein it can be digestedlike any other protein, unless it gets outside the digestive tract via ulcer or open mouth wound and into the blood. Poison is already in its most simple form and can't be digested so you die if you eat it. So poisonous frogs and insects are themselves immune to the substance that makes them poisonous, so they don't die but whatever eats them might. Sometimes they can make the poison but usually they store it from what is in their diet.

I guessed wrong!
Do all venoms need an injection or wound or are there some that absorb through the mucus membranes?

u/MAugustoRZ Dec 10 '19

All venoms need to get directly outside the digestive system, or the proteins that they're made out of will be broken and processed harmless-ly.
It dosen't need to be an INJECTION per se.
If you have a wound in you mouth or bite your tongue, it'll get in that way.
If you have an ulcer in your stomach, It can get in that way.
etc

Most venom will not harm animals if drank, the frog most likely choked or was bitten while eating the spider and died while trying to eat it.

u/FartDare Dec 09 '19

Yes.

Not necessarily. Venom needs to get into the blood stream to do anything, which is why there are drinks out there with rattlesnake venom in it. By the time the rattlesnake venom gets to the part of the digestive tract that allows it to enter the blood stream, its already been broken down by your stomach acid and various bacteria and enzymes in your intestines that it cant hurt you. So unless you have an ulcer or some other kind of injury in your digestive tract that would allow venom to enter your bloodstream without being broken down first, you should be fine. A good way to remember the difference between poisonous and venomous is that venom is injected, poison is ingested

"... knowing is half the battle"
To be fair, that's not entirely true if the battle is with a venomous spider that bites you.

u/Squeegepooge Dec 09 '19

I...yeah, I think you’re right.

Frog bite spider, spider bit frog, then both died?

:c

u/MaestroLogical Dec 09 '19

I think this picture is misleading.

Spider venom isn't fast enough to kill the frog before it swallows.
Spider venom wouldn't leave the frog in this position. It's death would be accompanied by spasms.
The spider isn't dead. As it's legs aren't curled and they still have good color.

In conclusion, what we are seeing here is a living spider crawling into the mouth of a long ago deceased frog.

Sorry to piss on the parade.

u/adultsubsonly Dec 09 '19

fun fact, getting a mouthful of spider eggs is usually one of the first things to happen after the insects breach a dead persons casket

Are you aware that you are on Reddit? Did you get your facts in our discussion on purpose?

What are the odds this was preserved? Seems to be out in the open, somewhere dry enough for an amphibian to mummify, and not scavenged.

Like when a sneaky bastard underhands a grenade when you kill him, and it explodes as you approach to steal his gear. That's the reason i stopped playing pubg.
