Do Spiders Crawl On You At Night?

For many people, seeing a spider shortly before bed can lead to a constant worry that the eight legged arachnid may find its way to where they are sleeping. Though spiders have a menacing and clever appearance, they are mostly shy and steer clear of humans, even sleeping humans. Though the idea of any creeping spider crawling across your shoulder can certainly produce a dramatic reaction from you, the actual risk of the spider doing any bodily harm to you is extremely low. The chances of dying from a spider bite are only 1 in 50 million. But spider bites can hurt and they are a few spiders in the US that are venomous enough to cause harm. Most notably are the black widow and the brown recluse, which are both found in the US.

When do spiders bite humans?

Spiders do not bite humans unless they are somehow provoked or trapped. Situations in which spiders will bite include:

• When they are picked up or caught with exposed hands
• If a spider is hidden in shoes when you put your foot inside
• If they are hiding in dirty laundry and you pick it up, accidentally pressing the spider into your arm
• When you accidentally put your hand into a spider habitat

Should I kill spiders when I see them in the house?
