If you mean by biting you, then no.

About a dozen species of spider have been known to bite people in the UK. Bites are rare, and the people bitten have usually been handling the spider roughly, or have alarmed a spider that had crawled into their clothes or bedding.

Spider bites are often painful, and sometimes become infected, but they are no more dangerous than bee or wasp stings. This includes the False Widow Spiders that caused a big fuss in the media recently.

If the person bitten is allergic to spider venom, which is quite rare, they may need hospital treatment, but I don't think anyone has actually died from this in the UK. This makes British spiders somewhat less deadly than peanuts.

Why are there no dangerous spiders in the UK?

There was never any evolutionary pressure, that made more potent venom more advantageous. Producing more powerful venom has a metabolic 'cost' to the spider, ie, it takes more energy. Because spiders in the UK prey on small insects, stronger venom gives no advantage, it's a waste of energy. Natural selection therefore favours spiders with a less potent, more energy efficient venom.


Are venomous spiders more dangerous than poisonous spiders?
