They actually are often mistaken for what we call here in VA, "Grass" spiders which are harmless. The first one I found in my old home I almost picked up and threw out the back door because I thought it was a Grass spider. For some reason I decided to look at it a little closer because something didn't look right. I looked it up online and was like..."well damn"
The poison causes what is called "Necrosis of the skin" which basically means, it kills all the skin cells that the poison comes in contact with. There are many surgeries and skin grafts in line if you don't take care of the bite immediately. Sometimes the dead rotting skin goes all the way down to the bone and all the "meat" has to be removed. It's not pretty. Don't fuck around dude, have them removed asap.
