Do daddy long legs spider bite?

Daddy long legs do bite. They are not harmful to humans, and contrary to popular belief are NOT the most venomous spiders around. People believe that they can't bite people because of their uncate fangs, but the brown recluse (which IS harmful to humans) also has uncate fangs. Also, the term daddy longs legs refers to three different types of bugs - one is the cellar spider, one is the harvestmen, which is an arachnid, but NOT a spider, and the other is the Crane fly. The bite from a cellar spider produces a short lived burning sensation. The myth about them being "the most venomous spider, but they can't bite humans" was debunked by MythBusters and Bill Nye the Science Guy

What are the symptoms of being bit by a daddy long legs?

There are two sorts of spider with the nickname "Daddy Long Legs", and one species of bug with the same name. The "Daddy Long Legs" spider of North America is actually an Opilone or Harvestman and is completely non-venomous. The "Daddy Long Legs" spider of Europe is poisonous and has been identified as a culprit in biting people. The symptoms range from a small red splotch on the skin to full scale necrosis of the bite area (turns black). The necrosis bite of the "daddy long legs" of Europe (pholcidae house spider) was not fully documented and pholcidae venom has not been tested for toxicity to mice or humans.
