There is huge scare mongering going on in the press, especially in the south. They've been in this country for over 100 years. The female will bite if it feels threatened. Which isnt a situation the vast majority of people are going to ever be in. Yes it can be deadly if you're allergic. But a Wasp sting could also kill you if you're allergic.

It seems like their bite can hurt but it's only if you have a reaction to it, then you'd need to goto hospital, other than that they're no worse than wasps.

And they will only try to bite you if you hassle them, they don;t go out of their way to bite people unless they feel threatened.

but what if you're in bed and you're just innocently trying to sleep and you roll over as people do and it bites you

you're not trying to harass it. you're just being an innocent human being :bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling:

I think the lesson is, if you're going to sleep with a spider make sure it's one of the nice ones.
