You don't have to mess with a spider for it to bite you, you just have to put your hand somewhere near it, or lay near it, or put on a sock that it crawled in. Your intent to do it harm does not factor into it wanting to kill you.

I played with many poisonus ones when I was little and never got bit. =p
