Which type of spider bite is associated with fever, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, bradycardia, and tachyarrhythmias?

The symptoms of fever, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, bradycardia, and tachyarrhythmias are typically associated with a black widow spider bite. The bite of a black widow, which is characterized by its neurotoxic venom, can lead to a condition known as latrodectism. This syndrome can manifest several systemic effects due to the venom's action on the nervous system.

In the case of a black widow spider bite, the affected individual may experience both local and systemic symptoms. The neurotoxic properties can lead to acute symptoms such as fever and increased secretions like lacrimation (tear production) and rhinorrhea (runny nose). Bradycardia and tachyarrhythmias may occur as the venom can affect cardiac function by altering autonomic regulation, leading to erratic heart rates.

Other options, while associated with their own symptoms, do not typically present with this specific combination. For example, the brown recluse spider bite often presents with localized necrosis and systemic symptoms like fever and malaise, but does not usually include lacrimation or rhinorrhea. Black flies are known for their bites causing irritation and may transmit infections but do not cause these systemic symptoms. Bedbugs inflict painful
