I recall reading when I lived in Arizona that, historically, the majority
of
serious/fatal black widow bites occurred in the early years of settlement
and resulted from the spiders' fondness for spinning their webs on the
cool,dark underside of outhouse seats (and, of course, the lack of access
to
advanced medical care). Need for caution still pertains:
In Utah, it is the hobo spider, similar to the brown recluse in its bite.
