all spiders are poisonous... its more a matter of whether or not that poison is dangerous to us
in most cases it isnt... at most causing mild swelling, itching and moderate pain at the bite

most spiders are also not aggressive toward humans

overall they serve to help humans, by eating other pests, far more than they harm us


here is a chart

Fuck me, I've spent most of my life living in the woods and I always believed wolf spiders to be harmless. I should've taken a pic of the diamond back rattler I scraped off the road and through in the ditch just 10 minutes ago.

essentially they are
they cant kill you
they are non aggressive
they rarely bite people
in the rare occurrence that they do bite all that happens is some mild pain and swelling
wolf spiders will usually flee (quickly)
 
I dont give a shit if the spider is poisonous or not im still squashing that shit lol
 
We have TONS of black widows here. Holy shit they are everywhere. In trash cans, in the tool shed, under your car, under your picnic table.

What about Tarantulas? My father-in-law finds them on the side of the road on occasion.
 
When I was in AZ train for volvo we had to do an engine swap out of an S60 and there were nothing but black widows underneath that hood we were lucky not to be bit.

black widows can be dangerous
while not outwardly aggressive they will attack if bothered or provoked... their venom is a neurotoxin that causes muscle contraction resulting in pain and cramping... this can be quite painful, but it is extremely unlikely to be fatal ( No one in the United States has died from a black widow spider bite in over 10 years.)


tarantulas are not dangerous to humans... they are generally not aggressive and their venom has almost no effect on humans... so aside from the initial minor pain of the bite there is little more to be concerned of... you have more to fear from household pets
 
ok what about those daddy long legs i heard that those are the most venomous spiders but their mouths are too small to bite humans. cuz those are the only ones i dont mind
 
yeah thats bullshit... on both accounts

they can indeed bite... it is barely noticeable... but they can
and their venom is very weak
