As for that, if you have heard something along the lines of "Huntsman spiders have killed more people than any other spider" then I can explain that to you. It has nothing to do with their venom, and everything to do with their appearance. These incidents result from huntsmen making a surprise appearance in a vehicle, causing the driver to crash. This may seem unbelievable, but it is true that these spiders are the cause of several car crashes. The venom of huntsman spiders is not medically significant, however some species can produce a painful bite, although none are very aggressive.
