Daddy Longleg myth

We've all heard the story about how the Daddy Longleg spider is supposed to be the most toxic spider in the world and how it's never killed a single person because it's fangs are just to tiny to pierce skin. I have to ask you what you think. Is the Daddy Longleg spider the most toxic and if bitten could you survive a bite?

@JohnnyCashRocks101 Per Wikipedia, per your request.

Some species, especially Pholcus phalangioides, are commonly called granddaddy long-legs spider, daddy long-legs spider, daddy long-legger, or vibrating spider. Confusion often arises because the name "daddy long-legs" is also applied to two distantly related arthropod groups: the harvestmen (which are arachnids but not spiders), and crane flies (which are insects).

@JohnnyCashRocks101 They are known as Daddy longleg spiders. :P

spiders are necessary for the environment. they get rid of many household pests, and if left alone they don't have the need to bite. if possible, please make all attempts to not kill spiders, as they're amazing creatures, and they eat all the annoying crap that usually infests households.

@MrPs103 I don't kill Daddy Long Legs Spiders because they usually attack and kill other spiders. Here in Australia, we get many huntsman spiders and red backs or white tails. Several kinds of spider which are either too big or too dangerous. But Daddy Long Legs Spiders are known to hunt and bring down these three kinds of spiders (and many more other kinds, but these three are the main ones I encounter) and for that, I let as many as four of them stay in my room.

@JohnnyCashRocks101 Cellar Spider and Daddy Long Leg Spider are common nicknames for it. Know your facts before you go bringing it to youtube.
