I laugh because I’ve noticed an inordinate amount of people are afraid of spiders and snakes.
More than 43,000 different species of spiders are found in the world. Of these, only a small number are said to be dangerous, and less than 30 (less than one-tenth of one percent) have been responsible for human deaths.
You have a better chance of dying in an auto, but they don’t scare you.
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), an American’s lifetime odds of dying in a car crash are 1 in 107 as of 2019. I’ll take the spider odds.

Someone could have a allergic reaction. But there is no evidence that any has ever had an allergic reaction to a spider bite. And yes arachnids are venomous, but this spider is no more dangerous than wasp or a bee.

You can make a monster look beautiful Danny!
Stunning! Picture perfect!
Mosquitoes are responsible for around 1,000,000 deaths per year. Approximately 475,000 people die every year at the hand of a fellow human. Snakes kill at least 50,000 people annually. Dogs kill 25,000 people yearly. Tapeworms kill 2000 people annually.
Spiders are not even in the top 15 of man killers & some are truly deadly. The false widow is as good as harmless & is certainly no worse than a Bee or wasp sting.

I used to have an imaginary pet spider called Osborn, I was very fond of him. Sadly one day he escaped from the imaginary terrarium he lived in, and I never didn’t see him again.

Let me guess. You tried to pretend, but it just wasn’t the same.
