Daddy Longlegs are cute!
They’re almost completely harmless to humans, and pets, aside of possible small rodents.
They kill smaller pests, and can even kill other spiders that actually are dangerous to humans.
But I want the sequel, Mommy StepsAlot.

Theoretically, a very small animal, or one that is quite sick and unhealthy, or basically a new born…
They may be small enough and have weak enough skin that a longlegs could actually penetrate the dermis and actually deliver a potentially troubling amount of venom.
IIRC, small rodents are things that a longlegs could potentially deliver an effective bite to… but I am not completely sure where or how exactly to draw the line.
Basically, they have a decent venom, but their fangs are quite bad at penetrating most kinds of skin… they are geared mainly toward hunting other small insects… but its not 100% impossible to harm something a bit bigger.

That is a myth. They are absolutely capable of biting humans, their venom however is nothing special.

Wait, so its inverse of the myth?
Fangs are fine, venom is a joke?
