WTF Hector!

Well obviously I would make an exception for spiders whos bite is lethal to humans! But a daddy-long-legs is nothing to get worked up about.

Actually Daddy-long-legs are poisonous, but their jaws are so weak that they can't penetrate human skin (Discovery Channel), just don't eat it.

You misquoted the discovery channel. Mythbusters proved they are slightly poisonous and can bite through human skin. It just takes coaxing.

Yeah, Jamie put his arm is a cage with a zillion of them. They later talked to a spider expert who said the whole "they're very poisonous" thing is urban legend.
