Doesn’t tick and moccasin country also usually feature black widows and brown recluses? The only deadly spiders in the US?

The biggest spiders I've seen in Minnesota are the harmless orbweavers, garden spiders, and barn spiders. The most dangerous are the Brown Recluse and Northern Black Widow, which are both extremely rare due to being at the edge of their range

No poisonous spiders. None that can kill you.

Spiders are our friends besides. They kill parasites. We are in alliance with spiders, long may they live.

Black widows and brown recluses, absolutely creep and crawl around the entire East Coast of North America. Even up north well into Canada.

In this day and age, you will most likely survive a bite from either one of them, but you might lose a leg or an arm or a major organ, depending on where they bite you. Especially if it’s a brown recluse.

If you want to vomit, do a Google search for “black widow scars“ or “brown recluse scars“
