pakled,

actually the myth was that daddy long legs are among the most deadliest spiders in the world or something like that but its teeth or mandibles are too small to pierce enough layers of human skin to inject its poison.

It is all false actually. Their bite, which can penetrate human skin contains very little and mild toxicity (will make the bite area sting abit, thats about all). So fortunately, nothing to worry about the most common spider in North America ...last time I checked anyways :-)
