Do you know the name of the most poisonous spider in the world? It is the Brazilian Wandering Spider. It keeps biting until it you go into muscle shock. Just nasty.

Never heard of this spider... but all I can say is "now doesn't that sound like fun." (Not!) Been to Brazil and fortunately wasn't bitten. But may have to think long and hard now if I'll ever go back.
