The objective of the study was to determine the knowledge about accidents caused by house spiders (Loxosceles laeta), possessed by the population that lives in the departments of the Peruvian jungle, according to the report of the National Survey of Budget Programs 2019 (ENAPRES 2019). developed by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI). The recognition of the house spider as poisonous, symptoms, actions after a bite, recognition of the places where the spider hides and knowledge about how to avoid the bite were studied, according to departments of the Peruvian jungle (Amazonas, San Martín, Loreto , Ucayali, Madre de Dios), zone (rural or urban) and socioeconomic stratum (A, B, C, D). The spider Loxosceles laeta was recognized as poisonous with greater frequency in the department of San Martín (55.4%), in rural areas (53.5%) and in the socioeconomic stratum E (46.6%). The most recognized clinical signs were chills, fever and sweating (38.8%), pain in the area of the bite (36.1%) and swelling in the area of the bite (15.7%). 86.3% of those surveyed would go to the medical care center after a spider bite accident. The corners of the rooms (55.3%), on the ceilings of the rooms (45.4%) and behind, under and inside the furniture (37.1%) were identified as the places where the spider hides. The measures to avoid the bite of L. laeta, recognized were frequently cleaning the corners of the rooms (46.5%), fumigating the house (46.9%) and frequently cleaning the ceilings of the rooms (36.3%). It is expected that the results of the study will serve to assess and prioritize the need to train the population in order to prevent these accidents in the population of the Peruvian jungle.
