My Brother who is a biologist, once told me that virtually all spiders have venom. Most of them cannot inject it into a human or we are not affected by it.
He also said there were probably a dozen spiders in North America which can be dangerous to humans.

Nearly every spider I kill in my house looks just like a brown recluse except they have spiky hairs on their legs and the brown recluse supposedly does not.
They even have the violin shape. I have compared several times and they definitely do vary by just that one thing but it must be enough as none of the brown recluse photos show and spiky hairs on their legs.
I still bothers me tho.

Hobo spiders are easy to spot!
They carry sticks over their shoulders with their belongings hanging on the end tied in a red bandanas and they’re commonly found in boxcars.

No, but I’ve seen hobos on piers in the river — makes it hard getting off the boat.
