ID for Spider with tiny body 2mm or less long shiny legs - very similar to widows but color is reddish-bronze nasty bite numbing-agent?

The above was forced into terse format. The spider is question is simply lovely, and the bite nasty. It resembles widows in shiny and hairless chitin, and the body is extremely small - and not visible unless you crush it, something done frequently at times. The only difference between this spider and the widows is that extremely small body. The bite in reference was near the lower lip, and within minutes it produced a numb sensation in lower jaw - very much like that after a dental visit when some sort of Novocain-etc. had been administered. Swelling was minimal, and within a day. At that point, abdominal cramps that traveled - work one out, another appeared on the other side. It matches no spiders - either in body-size or color - I have seen in some rather long web-searches for image. It is NOT a hobo or brown recluse - body size. These have been noted in the Seattle and Tacoma areas, so it may be an exotic cargo-traveler.

What is a flat big silver bug with lots of legs and how do i kill it?

You're most likely looking at a silverfish or a firebrat.

Silverfish and firebrats eat a wide variety of foods, including glue, wallpaper paste, bookbindings, paper, photographs, starch in clothing, cotton, linen, rayon fabrics, wheat flour, cereals, dried meats, leather and even dead insects. Silverfish often live in damp, cool places such as basements and laundry rooms. Sometimes, they are found in a bathtub, sink or washbasin, unable to climb out. Firebrats live in hot, humid places such as attics in summer and near furnaces, fireplaces and heat pipes in winter.

You can kill them with strategically placed pheromone traps, putting pesticide into wall voids via holes behind your light switches. Putting insecticides or pesticides near cracks, at the bottom of bathroom walls, and the like works good as well.

What spiders are poisonous?

Only a few species are seriously poisonous to humans.

There are these few Spiders:

black widow, African brown spider, bird spider, and if you ever see a spider with a violin shape on its back stay clear this spider can kill and is known for it.

*Edit:

The violin spider (or Brown Recluse, Loxosceles Reclusa, or Fiddleback spider) mentioned above is NOT deadly. It is difficult for doctors to diagnose spider bites, and the bite of this particular spider looks very similar to other serious conditions, so a lot of pictures/stories you see/hear about this spider being deadly are false. Though not deadly, this spider does cause very serious wounds and should be avoided. It is not aggressive.

Do you eat 7 to 9 spiders a year?

Well, there is some allowance for 'insect parts' to be in certain foodstuffs, such as flour and cereal, so there is a small chance that you could ingest some spider bits that way. But otherwise, not unless you actively seek out spiders as a gourmet item. This is based on an old canard that usually runs: "Over the course of your lifetime, you will swallow 10 spiders while you are asleep". It has, like most folk legends, ("Marlboros make you sterile"), tremendous staying power. It doesn't change the fact that it is folk legend - nothing more.
