since I know what to look for when comes to spiders I don't get scared of them. It seems that in general the only tiny spiders that can hurt you are the black widow and brown recluse. Widows are easy to see from that hourglass redspot and Recluse you don't have to worry since your unlikely to see it before it bit you anyways.

Not enough reason to live in fear I feel so I just let most spiders go as long as its not in a bathtub or sink, if they are then I give em a blast of water making them curl into a ball and go bye,bye
