He had some footage of a victim (who had the venom reach the bloodstream)
suffering the characteristic muscle twitches and spasms ("fasiculations", if
I remember rightly - it's been a long time). I gather that though most people
don't die, the process is very painful and full recovery may be slow.
BTW, although most black widows have the red mark, not all do - I've seen
slides of specimens ranging from totally black and unmarked, to mostly covered
with red markings. Kinda like rattlesnakes appearing in a variety of color
forms, I guess.
