    Will I feel if the spit of a spitting spider got on me?
    Community Answer
    It depends on the spit. If the spit is weak, it would feel like a drop of water; if it's strong, it may feel like a fire-ant bite.

    It is best not to kill a spitting spider in your home, because they consume prey such as flies and mosquitoes that are bothersome. The spitting spider is not poisonous and cannot bite you or hurt humans. If there are no insects in your home, and you are sure of it, bring the spitting spider outside into the woods, in a tree, or next to a shed.
