You mean Huntsmans? You don't deal with 'em. They're harmless. They're actually very handy to have around, as they keep other pest insects at bay (cockroaches, etc)
Up in the region where I live, its not the spiders that are the concern. It's snakes and wild cows that are the biggest killers up here (other than stupidity/dehydration).
I consider where those rumors come from and whether they even just sound legitimate. For example, a "casting breakdown" was "leaked" the other day saying that the main characters would be Jacen and Jaina Solo. Just reading it, I knew it was a fake. Normally I wouldn't report on a fake rumor, but I reported on how this one was an obvious fake because I had the feeling the rumor would start to make it around other websites. Sure enough, I was right.
