There are no T's whose venom has been reported to be fatal or dangerous to humans, however, Poecilotheria sp. have a very potent venom for a T and if you read up on some of the bite reports they can have systemic effects lasting quite some time, in a couple of cases muscle cramps up to a year after the bite, and there is no accounting for individual sensitivity either. Don't get bit is the best advice

post the scientific names and we'll tell you. Funnel webs of the genus Atrax are a definite DWA species........ as are Latrodectus sp. Loxosceles, Phoneutria I think Sicarius are on there too............
bugger it, here's the relevant section from the updated DWA list INVERTEBRATES Spiders Ctenidae of the species of the genus Phoneutria: Wandering spiders Dipluridae of the species of the genus Atrax: The Sydney funnel-web spider and its close relatives Lycosidae of the species Lycosa raptoria: The Brazilian wolf spider Sicariidae of the species of the genus Loxosceles: Brown recluse spiders (otherwise known as violin spiders) Theridiidae of the species of the genus Latrodectus:The black widow spider (otherwise known as redback spider) and its close relatives.
