I heard they're really deadly.
Black Widow The venom of the black widow spider is 15 times as toxic as the the venom of the prairie rattlesnake. The bite itself is often not painful and may go unnoticed. But the poison injected by the the Black Widow bite can cause abdominal pain similar to appendicitis as well as pain to muscles or the soles of the feet. Other symptoms include alternating salivation and dry-mouth, paralysis of the diaphragm, profuse sweating and swollen eyelids. Persons younger than 16 and older than 60, especially those with a heart condition, may require a hospital stay. (Heart and lung failure may result in death.) A physician can give specific antivenin or calcium gluconate to relieve pain. Healthy people recover rapidly in two to five days.

J_walker_anonymous a Gardian spider (The big black and yellow ones) came down beside me and anded on my shoulder and bit my ear. ...and that is the exact same reason why I don't let any spider near me. If one does, it either goes to Arachne-Heaven or ends up flying across the room.
