Also known as "Banana Spiders, they are the most venomous spider known. They don't even need to bite you, just touching their venom and rubbing your eyes, or a sore will do it.
Aside from causing intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism - uncomfortable erections that can last for many hours and lead to impotence. The venom may eventually be used in erectile dysfunction treatments.
Hmmm.
Dole bananas and Sen. Bob" "Viagra" Dole. Who'd a thunk it?

Getting bit by one of these things is gonna make for a hard time all the way around.

If that photo is to scale and that is an average sized banana, the spider is a big SOB!
