Out here we have the Hobo spider, also known as the Aggressive House Spider. 
In the past ten years they have really become common.  I have had them crawl 
across my bare chest while in bed.  I was bitten once on the hand.  The 
necrotic spot remained small but it felt like I was hit with a hammer while 
my hand was on a hard surface.  The venom is supposed to be very toxic to 
fatty tissue.  Bites on the thigh and buttocks supposedly get real ugly. 
They form pit scars.  They are everywhere outside, and in the fall during 
the mating season they will move into buildings.  Spiders really freak me 
out.  I am sure glad we do not have the Brown Recluse too.
