Honestly, the Huntsman Spider isn't bad at all. But I don't agree with the thing Ridley Wolf posted either. I don't think they're cute or fuzzy. I still get creeped out by them. The danger with Huntsmans is no greater than you tripping over, which you may do after backing up when you see one. That being said, we do have some of the most dangerous spiders in the world here in Australia. Namely, the Redback and the Sydney Funnel Web, which are both in the top 10 list of the most dangerous spiders. There however, is a spider, which at a glance can look similar to a Huntsman which is dangerous to humans, and that is the Wolf Spider. While it's not as bad as some of the aforementioned species, the Wolf Spider still has a rather painful bite, with irritation and minor symptoms, such as nausea and rashes which can go on for weeks or months, depending on the tolerance of the victim. I personally have no problem with spiders, so long as they're outside the house. It's only if they move inside that I pull out the bug spray.
