Brown Recluse Spider
Well, if you thought things couldn’t get worse after the Brazilian wandering spider, think again! Next up, we have one of the most dangerous spiders in the United States. A bite from this spider will destroy your blood vessels’ walls, create an ulcer and subsequent wound that may take months to heal and that’s the better outcome. If the bite gets infected it can lead to death. The brown recluse spider is also known as a violin spider. They’re found not only in caves and nature but attics, storage areas, the wall and ceiling voids or shoes, clothing and beds. Their bite is extremely venomous, and they pose the most deadly threat to children.

Six-Eyed Sand Spider
A cousin to our last spider, the six-eyed sand spider can be found in sandy places like the desert, mainly in Africa and South America. Lucky for us, they rarely bite humans. With only two suspected human cases of bites from them, experts turned to experimentation to find out more about the venom. Apparently, their venom will destroy tissue and organs while it eats away at flesh and then the toxin spreads to the liver and kidneys. All of this surely leads to death. At the time, no antivenom exists. If that discovery isn’t enough to scare you, did you know that experiments found their venom lethal to rabbits within five to twelve hours?
