I've been bitten by a black widow, twice. The first bite resulted in a 3 day hospital stay because I am allergic to the venom. Lots of breathing trouble, pain, swelling, and oozing from the bite area. The second bite we knew to treat differently from the start because of my allergy and it was not so bad, overnight stay for monitoring and only mild breathing trouble, pain, swelling, and oozing.

So I am really deathly afraid of spiders and I feel like I've earned the right to be.

I've got a friend that keeps spiders, but I won't go near his house.
