Yes, they are!
I saw a program on spiders a few eeks ago on the Discovery Channel.
They mentioned the brown recluse spider, and she is indeed quite
dangerous. You hardly notice the bite of this spider, but after a
few days you become sick/ill. If not treated well there are serious
problems for you. I do not remember if the "problem" is fatal ...
It can be, if the bite affects a particularly vital area. The major problem
with recluse venom is necrosis.
