    Are they venomous or otherwise dangerous to humans?

      To add to what nougat said, because that’s very much the appropriate answer…

      All spiders are in fact venomous- it’s part of how they feed. Many species, the venom is not harmful to humans, or only very weakly so. (Wolf spiders qualify as “very weakly so”)

      That said, you try keeping a reasonable head when you suddenly come eyeball-to-eyeball with a wolf spiders qualify and her kids.

        Yes, all spiders are venomous, but only few have venoum which are dangerous for humans and also only few capable to inject it under the human skin. Dangerous are only few species and not necesarly the biggest ones, eg, the Australian Huntsman is not. https://www.britannica.com/list/9-of-the-worlds-deadliest-spiders

          Did the comment above get edited? It look like you’re just repeating the same thing stated in there.

      One climbed onto my foot while I was brushing my teeth once and I launched myself into the wall behind me pretty hard which hurt. Other than that I don’t think so.

      Seems like it’s not even as bad as a bee sting. Spiders are really not very dangerous at all, generally speaking. They’re going to leave you alone unless you’re fucking with them.

      Nope. Also, if you coax a momma into your hand, you can throw it at your enemies for a spectacular spider-bomb.
