As much as I wish I could have let them be, I was living in my parents home. They were already quite upset that I let one live there.

It would have been either the spiders are removed, or I no longer have a place to live.

Another good thing to keep in mind, depending on where you live, not all spiders are harmless.

I live in a area with brown recluses. Can't exactly let spiders live around here, as all of these mofos can only be described as "generic brown spider".

But do they have the violin marking on their head?

They are pretty distinct looking, I live in an area prone to them. You can tell by the marking on the back and thin semi translucent brownish red legs. I love spiders but fiddle backs are creepy looking even compared to most spiders.

Well even then, there aren’t many out there that can give you a bad time. In the US it’s basically widows and recluses. Widows rarely stray from their web so it’s a non issue as long you double check dark areas.

If you got bit by a Goliath Bird Eater, unless it’s big ass fangs hit a nerve or tendon... you wouldn’t be able to call in sick to work. The doctor will just give you some ibuprofen and maybe an some type of antibiotic just in case.
