Granddaddy long legs are not poisonous;however, they can bite you. Often these granddaddy long legs are mistaken as Spiders. These small creatures are actually a different species called harvestmen. They can bite but they usually do not bother humans. The, "Granddaddy long legs are the most poisonous spiders in the world but cannot bite you" quote is a myth. Here is a video I have found on YouTube with the Mythbusters crew and this myth. You need not do anything when you're bitten. I was bitten last month and just put an ice pack on the bite. I hope this helped. (:
