“Most poisonous” does not mean “100% deadly”. That is the impression everyone gets with Recluse AND the Widow. But apparently only in special cases, esp. small children, is the Recluse really, really dangerous.
Doesn’t mean we’ll go seeking a Recluse or Widow to bite us for fun, but not quite the scary assured-death we are made to think it is.
If you’re person with an allergy it would be.
