Not to humans. While wolf Spiders are excellent hunters they are not considered aggressive. They will bite if provoked and while the bite of wolf spiders is painful it is not deadly. Also, there is no evidence to prove that any variety of wolf spiders cause bites that are necrotic (IE. causing the flesh to rot as with brown recluse bites.

∙ 9y agoWolf spiders are venomous, but their venom is not lethal to humans. A wolf spiderâ??s bite symptoms are mild, and may vary from a slight reddening of the skin to muscle pain. Occasionally, there will be a fever and swelling of lymph glands accompanying a bite.

∙ 12y agoThe bite of the Wolf spider is venomous but not lethal. Some wolf spiders that are found in South America have medically significant bites. The kinds found in the U.S. are not known to have medically significant venom, however (as with bee stings) it is possible that some individuals might have a severe allergic reaction that would require immediate treatment. Some wolf spider bites are so insignificant that most people would not notice them, and others can be painful (just as a bee or hornet sting can be painful). If all the bitten person is noticing is local pain, then pain management would seem to be all that is required. An ice cube wrapped in a wash cloth might reduce the pain and let the body deal with the venom a little bit at a time. If there are signs that the bitten person is going into shock (which rarely happens), then prompt medical aid should be secured.
Wolf spiders are like watch dogs. They control harmful insects and even some spiders that can give medically significant bites. Every wolf spider I have ever encountered has wanted nothing more than to run away from me as rapidly as possible. The few cases I know about where somebody has been bitten by a wolf spider resulted because the wolf spider was forced into painful contact with a human body. One lady put on a shoe in which a large wolf spider had taken temporary refuge. The spider gave her a defensive bite.

∙ 11y agoYes. But although wolf spiders are claimed to be dangerous, they normally do not attack humans or large animals. If threatened, the spider will try to intimidate you by jumping towards you, or simply run away.
