I did look it up because I like to know about small things that crawl around that have the potential of killing me or causing a chunk of my body to rot off, From CSU ext.

"A special spider issue is the "hobo spider" and its purported danger to humans. This originated from an unfortunate study that suggested this spider could cause slow healing wounds similar to those known to be sometimes produced following a brown recluse bite. This report received extremely wide distribution in popular press and the internet. However, subsequent research has demonstrated that this original report was erroneous and based on unsupportable anecdotal evidence. The hobo spider is now recognized as >not< being a dangerous species. It is a harmless funnel weaver spider and is now found in many areas of the state."
