You really have to work to get bitten by a spider, because they do not want to bite you. Spiders tend to avoid people and have no reason to bite humans because they are not bloodsuckers and do not feed on humans. When spider bites do happen, they will tend to occur because the spiders are surprised by a person reaching into a glove or rolling over on a spider in your bed. Even then however, the majority of spiders are not toxic to Humans. Many spiders are not even cable of piercing human flesh. The Black widow and Brown Recluse are not native to the pacific Northwest.
