I had no true issues with spiders until I was in the service and did some different survival training courses. In one of the courses, they show a SAS patrol in Aussie that was being lead by a bushman, it was in black and white and appeared to have been orginally filmed on like 8mm but we were watching it on VHS at the time. Anyway, they are crusing thru some bush when the bushman lets out a hollar and cuts in forearm willfully with his knife. This guy then takes about 2-3 steps and proceeds to die. I honestly dont recall what spider they said it was that had bitten him, but it was indeed some outback kill you sooner then later type and at that point I was like Ugh. along with about 95% of the courses attendees. Snakes? geez, running from some form or the other during breeding season in Panama while on a rotation down there set me into thinking the legless ones and I were not intended to be friends. Also, if you think about the Snake and the apple, [:-]
