>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.

The fucken misunderstanding...
That is why, as an intelligent thinking creature, you are supposed to operate in a more cautious manner. Don't stick your finger into dark holes, examine your shoes before putting them on, is caution around log piles, etc.
Live like a complete paranoid in a nutshell
Pretty much. Gotta keep your head on a swivel. Watch where you step. Keep your mind on the trail or neighborhood you are in. Practice your quick draw. Gun, knives and whatever else you are carrying. Snakes , spiders and stuff run from you unless you interfere with them by accidentally stepping on them or sitting on them or stuffing your body part into their hiding spot. Big animals and nefarious characters could either run or attack. Plan plan plan
