Why are spiders more scary than sharks?

[Ravenshire]

I'll take any widow venom (Black, brown or red) over Brown Recluse venom. The neurological pain from widow venom is something that can be managed quickly, as long as you're a healthy adult.

But that necrotic shit the Brown Recluse releases into you, no thanks. I like my skin the way it is.
(Maybe that's my vanity speaking though...)

Except brown recluse spiders are really hard to provoke, have really short fangs, and you have to press one up against your skin to elicit a bite. Even then, majority of the bites have so little effect that they go unnoticed, and a small percentage cause serious problems.

Great white, on the other hand, need no provocation, have really long teeth, will hunt you down, and will usually bleed you out.

Been bitten by a member of the recluse family. The afflicted area took three years to fully heal and five before all the scarring faded. I was lucky since it bit me right next to my spine, the damage could have been far worse and lifelong permanent.

Never even seen a shark that wasn't in a tank or in a TV show/movie.
