Wolf spiders are nice to have around actually because they eat the hell out of other bugs. They can give a painful bite, I learned that lesson when I reached down to pick up a rock while mowing my parent's yard and grabbed a big wolf spider by mistake.
I've been bit by brown recluse spiders a few times but fortunately for me I'm not allergic to their venom. It just makes an itchy bite like a tick or mosquito. Not allergic to bee stings either but wasps really do a number on me.
