They are large, and they gallop across your ceiling like demented gazelles, chasing down cockroaches.
However, they're nonaggressive to humans, you'd have to seriously harrass one to provoke it into biting you, and the worst they could do to you is a beesting-like bite.
They're also all named Kevin.
Sorry, as an arachnophobe, Kevin better stay out of my house or have a faster draw than I do or he's toast. Castle doctrine applies to spiders that large lmao.
My house would be a pile of ashes if I saw one of those inside.
My house would not change, it would just become Kevin’s house. I’d be back in with my parents.
This is all true except I've met huntsmans with different names.
Also as you said, they are not completely harmless like OP requested. Going by these standards we could also list a lot of animals that occasionally bite or sting non lethally if provoked.
Granted, but they look a whole lot more threatening than they are, which I felt was in the spirit of the thread.
Yes, that's true
I sincerely hope you aren’t lying because I will accept this as fact and act accordingly should I ever see something I think is a huntsman spider
There's apparently one subspecies of huntsman that could make you a bit nauseous and headachey, but the majority aren't going to do more than hurt a bit. And yeah, they're cool.
Of course, I'm not going to take responsibility if you misidentify something else as a huntsman...

Oops, that was a 2011 Ford Mondeo coming straight at me, not a huntsman spider.
Not again!
I'm allergic to actual bee stings ...
I've never had one, so I don't know. I've always been irrationally nervous around bees, and I really, really don't want to find out if I am or not.
