    No.  Well... at least not that I know of.  I'm not a "fan" of spiders.  As I tell them (and the lizards), "you don't bother me, and I won't bother you"... and, "stay out of the house"!  This is not the case with black widows, however.  I show them no mercy!  Any spider that ventures into the house (and I see) will become a permanent part of the "decor" until I mop, vacuum, or wash/paint the walls.

    Not a dangerous one.

    Numerous times, but they were all harmless.

    Once, by a Woodlouse Spider I had picked up indoors and enclosed in my hand to put safely outdoors. The ungrateful creature! 

    It was a sharp nip, like a jab from a pin,  but left no mark and caused no ill-effects.

    The species' name is from its main prey being wood-lice, for which it has mandibles capable of biting through the louse's chitinous armour too tough for other spiders. So capable of giving a sharp nip to the human hand.
