Like the black widow spider, at first, a spider bite from a hobo spider may go undetected. Then 24 hours you will begin to see blister that will later turn into an oozing ulceration. This type of spider bite can take months to heal — and it's best that you clean it regularly and bandage it up to avoid infection.
One little-known fact about a hobo spider is that they are a member of the genus of spiders known as funnel web spiders, and are often confused with the Australian funnel-web spider. However, the two are completely different spiders.
3. Hobo Spider (Tegenaria agrestis)
Though the bite of a Hobo Spider is initially painless, it can, nevertheless, be serious. A redness will first appear around the bite site, which will develop into a blister after 24 hours, before breaking open, leaving an open, oozing ulceration.The bite might also cause severe headaches lasting 2 to 7 days and even nausea, weakness, fatigue, malaise, temporary memory loss and vision impairment.
Severe lesions may take several months to heal and the Hobo Spider has been identified as a contributory factor to at least one death. Medical attention should be sought, when bitten, and when any adverse health effects are observed.

Sigh. Haha.
Nasty little things
They are poisonous not venomous
Kevin Martin all spiders are venomous
Grand daddy long legs are harvest men, they’re not spiders, they only have one body segment instead of three. They do have venom but cannot bite us, they are poisonous to eat. That’s the only way they can hurt you.
Kevin Martin good point about the body.have had tarantulas most of my life.i see you’re correct now. Thanks.
No problem, I don’t understand why they would be on this list without making a distinction
Kevin Martin that’s true.good question?
