| | Latrodectus mactans - Anshutz |
 | | Romberg notes the companionship of these two elements: "The patient attacked with Angina Pectoris is suddenly seized with a pain under the sternum in the neighbourhood of the heart, accompanied by a sense of anxiety so intense as to induce a belief in the approach of death." | | | We have laid the emphasis of these various citations on the "essential symptoms" in order to assert, with equal emphasis, that their analogues occur in not only one case of Latrodectus mactans poisoning. | | | When this sudden systemic arteriole spasm extends to the coronary vessels in a heart whose walls are diseased, a fatal attack of angina with the heart full of blood may be induced. |

| | Articles : Latrodectus Mactans - Dr Patricia Le Roux - January 1999 |
| | This patient is a child, brought in by his mother in the autumn of 1998. | | | Being in one of my second lives an artist, I find it very interesting to approach the patient artistically, finding in this way the spirit of his disease and the spirit of his remedy. | | | So let us come to my subject in this way, and first study a clinical case in my personal practice (with little follow-up but it has given me the opportunity to study the remedy), then give a short review of the materia medica, followed by my personal artistic synthesis of Latrodectus Mactans. |

| | The most likely place for humans to have an unpleasant run-in with a Latrodectus is in a dark, dry place like a basement, attic, or woodpile. | | | Spiders of the genus Latrodectus are some of the most widely recognized spiders around, for reasons that should be fairly obvious to anyone who has ever had to stick their hands into a dark, musty, wood pile. | | | For the most part, Latrodectus spiders seem to prefer dry conditions, thriving best in a near desert environment. |
