Generalities p. 538

A few hours after the bite the patients have great anguish of the heart, great dejection, but greater difficulty in breathing; they complain in a mournful voice, roll their eyes, and when asked by bystanders where they suffer, they either do not reply or point out the affected region by placing the hand upon the chest, as if the heart were affected more than all else. The symptoms observed after the bite of a tarentula are not constant and common to each person, neither are they all produced by each tarantula, but they vary according to the variety of the tarentula, the temperament of the diseased person, and the greater or less summer heat. It has been observed that tarentulas in the more northern region of Apulia are fiercer ; the bitten people suffer severe symptoms; especially they are charmed by various colors, green, blue, etc., but rarely by dark colors. And if approached by people dressed in a strong color, which is unpleasant to them, they must retire ; for at sight of the annoying color they are immediately seized with anguish of heart and renewal of the symptoms. Different symptoms are produced by different varieties of tarentulas. The tarentula subalbida causes slight pain, followed by itching, sharp pain in the abdomen and diarrhoea. The tarentula stellata causes more severe pain and itching, stupor, heaviness and pain in the head, trembling of the whole body, etc. The tarentula uvea causes, besides the above symptoms, swell ing, great pain in the bitten part, spasm, chill, cold perspiration over the whole body, aphonia, inclination to vomit, tension of the trunk and chest, distension of the abdomen, etc. There are numerous and incredible symptoms of tarentula, many of which seem dependent on a depraved imagination ; it will not be far from the truth if we report that after the intense severity of the symptoms apparent on the first days has declined, there is a peculiar melancholy, a bending forward of the neck, until either by dancing, or music, or by change of age the poisonous characteristics are eliminated from the blood and nervous fluids, which fortune is rarely attained, for having once been bitten, it is certainly evident that they cannot be restored to health. Many symptoms confirm this assertion of the nature of the depraved fancy ; for many have sought the sepulchre and lonely places, and even extended themselves upon the bier. Desperate, they court dissolution. Maidens and wives, otherwise virtuous, the restraints of modesty being loosed, sigh deeply, howl, make indecent gestures, expose their sexual organs, are fond of pensile movements, etc., some at length twist about in their own garments, and take excessive delight in such movements. Others like to strike with whips on the buttocks, heels, feet, back, etc. Others have a great desire to run. Also strange fancies in regard to colors are observed ; for people bitten by tarentulas are charmed by some colors, and on the contrary, greatly repelled by others, aud according to the degree of the perverted fancy in turn, refreshed and made miserable by various colors

Stretched upon the ground and seemed as if he was just going to expire. When he heard the music he began to move accordingly, got up as quick as lightning, and seemed as if he had been awakened by some frightful vision, and stared wildly about, still moving every joint of his body. As I had not yet learned the whole tune, I left off playing; in an instant he fell down and cried very loud ; his face, legs, arms, and every other part of his body were distorted ; he scraped the earth with his hands, and was in such contortions, that clearly indicated him to be in miserable agonies. On hearing the music again, he rose up as he did before, and danced as fast as any man could do ; his dancing was very wild ; he kept a perfect time in the dance, but had neither rule nor manner, only jumping and running to and fro, and making very comical postures, something like the Chinese dances seen on the stage, and otherwise, everything that he did was very wild

He immediately felt intense pain in the bitten spot, and fell to the ground with coldness of the body; with bristling of the hair, pain in the chest, tension of the trunk, the legs were weak, he sighed, complained, said that he was suffocating, wished to cry out, but could not. The next morning he was taken by his neighbors to the town where music was called in ; he immediately began to dance, he was bathed in perspiration, was sleepless for a week, drank pure wine ; did not evacuate the bowels for four days, desired nothing, wished to be bathed with water, liked a red color, pursuing with the greatest hatred anything blue, which he tore to pieces and trampled under foot. At night he held his heels in his hands to scratch them, in which manner he was able to get a little sleep ; he ate little or nothing ; but dancing for almost a week, he was cured by the perspiration and music

The tarentula being killed, he returned home, but on the way suddenly fell to the ground, as if struck by apoplexy, followed by shortness of breath, blackness of the face, hands, and other extremities, etc. The patient revived as he heard music, began to sigh, moved first his feet, then his hands and the rest of his body, and soon after, on being raised to his feet, danced vigorously, with sighs so deep as almost to frighten the bystanders. He rolled upon the ground, and kicked vigorously. In two hours from the beginning of the music he had entirely lost the blackness of the face and hands; the dance was repeated for three days, according to the custom, and he was entirely restored by the perspiration thus induced. Each year, about the time of the bite, pain reappeared in the affected part with all the above symptoms, in less intensity, however ; and unless he anticipated the assailing paroxysm with music and dancing, he was suddenly seized with the same symptoms, whence, when thus attacked about the time of the bite, he was carried from the field by his companions and restored by a little music

Footnotes p. 533

† The sexual desire was so manifest in this woman that, when playing or dancing with gentlemen, she hugged them before everybody. The just remarks on her conduct made her irritable"; she cried, was angry, and finished by promising not to do it again ; however, she did not keep her promise lou<j. During this period the catamenia were scanty and pale, with severe pains in the teeth and buttocks. At times she experienced the desire to take things which did not belong to her. A circumstance worth mentioning, was that the "Tarantella" played on the violin and guitar did not produce any effect on her, but as soon as she took in her arms a little girl, she commenced to cry until the child was taken away ; this never took place with her before. These experiments were repeated several times, always with the same results.
