A number of venomous spiders exist in the United States that can kill a human or non-human animal, though very few species of spider are equipped with the fangs and strength to penetrate a dog's thick skin. The black widow, the brown widow and the brown recluse spiders, however, all possess that ability.

The short answer is yes, the adult female brown widow is poisonous, while the adult male is not. In fact, the female is just as poisonous as the female black widow. However, being less aggressive than black widows, they are less apt to bite humans.

While the bite of the brown widow might not kill you, it's still in the Latrodectus genus, meaning its venom affects humans and other mammals. So, while the bite of the brown widow is somewhat less toxic than the black widow, both spiders are known to be poisonous.

Black widows are highly poisonous; fortunately, they bite humans only when disturbed. Sewlal added, "Only the bites of the females can be regarded as a threat to human health." And contrary to popular belief, most victims do not suffer serious damage. "Bites from this spider very rarely result in death," Sewlal said.

Brown recluse spider bites rarely kill people, but it's important to get medical attention as soon as you can because they can make you pretty sick. With an adult's help, wash the bite well with soap and water.

Venomous spiders are rare in Minnesota, but every once in a while people are bit by brown recluse spiders. This spider is also known as the violin spider due to the violin-shaped spot on its head. These spiders are abundant in the southern United States and as far north as southern Iowa.

Can they kill you? It's incredibly unlikely. There has only been one report of a potential death from a false widow bite in the UK, and even then it was unclear whether the bite actually caused the fatality.
