there aren't any poisonous spiders in jersey. All of them are safe to touch. You dont have to worry about them or be scared. The worst that one could do to you is cause an itchy bug bite.

The most they can do is give you a bug bite, I don't know any that are poisenous.
My biggest problem with them are their legs!

Call the local Conservation Office. I wouldn't count on there not being any that can not make you sick. You never know about imported either.

Their are poisonous spiders that live in Jersey. The Brown Recluse Spider is one of them. Daydreamer13 you need to do more research.

I live in the Pine Barrens. We have Male and Female Wolf Spiders, Brown Recluses and Black Widows. I just caught a Black Widow the other night ...put it in a jar to see the underside and it hd a distinct red fiddle on it's underside. I've been bitten twice by Wolf Spiders. Is time landed me in the hospital with blood poisoning from the bite. Second time it took about a month to heal. I have scars from both. Brown recluses are worse. They bite..and their venom causes the tissue to become necrotic (meaning the tissue dies and turms black). im a nurse and the recluse bites can become extremely large wounds taking up the majority of an adults foot, calf, leg (wherever bitten) They can be very dangerous to small children and the elderly. Go to Brownrecluse.com to see some photos of how bad those bites can be. As for Black Widows...do I need to say more?

It seems that not too many people have done their homework before answering this question. There are in fact venomous spiders in NJ.

While some are not dangerous to humans, there are a few that have caused serious bites and complications. Also it depends on the person and if they happen to be sensitive to the venom.

Use your common sense when around spiders, and if you are bit, take suggested action, and for GOD's sake, educate yourself!
