Black widows and hobo spiders are the two seriously venomous species found in Oregon.

I beg to differ.

I was bitten three times by a small spider in my sleep at our house in Ga and it looked like the large bullseye from a tick bite. I ended up in urgent care and they gave me antibiotics. My sister was bitten by a hobo spider and some of her skin at the bite mark rotted.

I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And said, “Yo, b*tch, what’s in the bowl?”
