It is a lovely piece of work hun. Give me a shout if you want more poec specie pics of your striata or the pederseni.

I think although it is meant to be non allergenic people are still going to react to it differently and to different severities, some to the point of an equivalent allergic reaction, depending on how it reacts in the body. Body size as well I think would contribute, just as the amount of venom and toxcins the spider puts into the bite.

I personally don't cross out the chances allergic reactions - I know people who have allergic to reactions to non allergic things.

Pokie venom is peptide based rather than full protein based. So although a reaction may occur, Anaphylaxis is incredibly unlikely.

I think it's the proteins their body creates, due to the presence of a foreign body in their system, that they are actually having an allergic reaction to.

Great post, any good forum would make it a sticky
All this information shouldnt go to waste in the depths of the rest of the posts.
