Why would humans have a developed sense of uneasiness when we see something that doesn't quite line up with human characteristics properly? Is it simply an evolutionary tool to keep humans within their own races or is there something else going on here? How would such a sense still keep going on after countless generations if there wasn't a need to detect these subtle differences? What do you think the purpose for the uncanny valley sense to keep existing in modern humans?

There are no poisonous tarantaulas. I hear the bite is merely a bee sting's worth of pain. Though I've never been bit so I have no personal experience.

Well there are and quite a lot... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantula

>The eight legs, the two chelicerae with their fangs, and the pedipalps are attached to the prosoma. The chelicerae are two double-segmented appendages located just below the eyes and directly forward of the mouth. The chelicerae contain the venom glands that vent through the fangs. ... researchers have described more than 20 bites with the delayed onset of severe and diffuse muscle cramps, lasting for several days, that in most cases resolved completely with the use of benzodiazepines and magnesium. In all cases, seeking medical aid is advised. Because other proteins are included when a toxin is injected, some individuals may suffer severe symptoms due to an allergic reaction rather than to the venom. Such allergic effects can be life-threatening.[citation needed] Additionally, the large fangs of a tarantula can inflict painful puncture wounds, which can lead to secondary bacterial infections if not properly treated.

It's nasty, and without proper medical care it's likely going to turn super nasty

I’d still be more scared of the Brazilian banana spider. It’s bite can make your dick stop working.

>The genus Phoneutria includes some of the relatively few species of spiders known to present a threat to humans. Danger to humans does not only comprise toxicity, but also factors such as the spider's capacity to deliver a sufficient dose of venom, a disposition that makes a bite likely, and proximity to human habitation. These spiders' wandering nature is another reason they are considered so dangerous. In densely populated areas, Phoneutria species usually search for cover and dark places to hide during daytime, leading them to hide in houses, clothes, cars, boots, boxes and log piles, where they may bite if accidentally disturbed.
