I don't think the tarantula hairs are poisonous, but some kinds are irritating, and if you're stupid enough to get them in your eyes and not get medical attention, I've heard they can blind you.

I'm sure they have their place in nature, but on my dinner plate, no.

Of course, I think those Frenchy-type people will eat practically anything as long as it has some kind of sauce on it. You can call snails 'escargot', but to me, they're still vermin.
