A member asked:
A very small, fast-moving spider was crawling fast then stopping on my dresser. then i smashed it. how to know if its poisonous? am i in danger?

Very unlikely: You certainly were dangerous to the spider. Here's a link to a good chart you can obtain to ID it. Indoor spiders are not usually as likely to be among the most poisonous. Smashing them is not a way to have their venom enter your blood stream - they need to bite you. Take care, try to relax.
