Oh, the ONE time I wasn't watching where I was going, I stepped on it and it stung the sole of my foot as I was putting my foot down. I could feel it before it landed, basically, and it made a big red spot on my foot for a few hours. The pain itself didn't last but maybe five minutes before fading, though, so all in all it wasn't that bad.

Yeah, as a general rule, arachnids don't WANT to harm you. This one just had no other choice obviously because I am a clumsy idiot lmao
