I'm sorry to hear that buzzy. I'm not sure that the North American funnel web spider is venomous, though. I do know that the Australian counterpart is venomous and should be avoided. However, here in the states these critters are harmless, or so I'm told. I could be wrong though as I've never been bitten by one.
