Tarentula cubensis — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
(Spider Poisons) From scanty and rather scattered data we have tried to picture Tarentula cubensis—the rotten specimen of the Cuban tarentula, which is such a marvellous remedy in a number of septic condi tions : but we do not seem to have attacked the better known Tarentula of pur Materia Medica. It is a very interesting and very unique remedy, suggested in most difficult conditions— nervous and mental especially ; and like all the other drugs of Homoeopathy, priceless where it fits. Tarentula suggests violence and tormept. Without specific power to damage parts or organs after the manner of many of our remedies, it can violently torment both body and mind in a manner utterly subversive to decency and behaviour as regards the unhappy victim, and perplexing and alarming to friends and attendants. Tarentula, therefore, becomes a powerful remedy in spasms, and in hysteria with its “ protean manifestations ”, as Clarke puts it. After this spider bite, the victim sings and dances, with extra vagant behaviour and complete loss of control, and is only to be cured, and cured again and again in its annual recurrence of symptoms, by music and dancing—so we are told. And not only is this drug amazingly sensitive to music, but it can be even physically affected by colour : “ an unpleasant colour may cause anguish of heart ”. Tarentula has the sudden changes of mood of Crocus, but its gaiety and laughter turn to sudden spitefulness ; to a paroxysm of insanity, in which she will strike herself and others, tear and rend and destroy. Sudden violent, or sly destructive movements are absolutely characteristic, and unique to this drug—so far as our knowledge goer. And then the patient may be sorry and apologize : ” Couldn’t help it !
