I shit you not I got bitten by a spider in this country when I was gardening once. I got a nasty lump on my leg and felt a bit out of it for a day or two afterwards. I've been reliably informed, honestly, that all species of spider can bite and deliver a certain amount of venom if sufficiently provoked. I appreciate they're good at keeping flies away and stuff but I think I'd rather invest in fly paper than encourage arachnids to take up residence in my house!
