Damned Cornish piskies are more toxic. I was attacked by one 3 times or 3 piskies on 3 different occassions all within 30 minutes time.

Something grabbed my ankle in 100 year old fishermans cottage in Mevagissey we were staying in for week holiday. I felt it yank my ankle on the last but one stairstep leading into kitchen. I fell and hit my knee full on the storage heater.
While making braskfast in same kitchen, I was mvoing hot frying pan from cooker to sink when for some reason I cannot fathom, the hot pan ended up along the inside of my right forearm. Still have the scar.
While making apple cheese baps for our picnic lunch the knife jumped out of my hand and (I sear) in slow motion turned over and fell not onto the counter which it should have, but point down into my upper thigh. Thank god for thick denims.

The first place we visited that day was a little gift shop in Mevagissey which explained pisky behaviour. When we got back to the house a small saucer of water and a bicuit for good measure was placed by the hearth.

But even more toxic than arachnids and fairy creatures are tories - two legged creepies.
