They can be. But how deadly has been called into question. Recluse is more likely to cause localized necrosis they have an entirely different kind of venom.

Widows venom is about as toxic as a rattlesnakes but there just isn't enough of it from a little spider to do much damage. I would avoid being bitten by one but I believe the fatalities associated with them were from someone falling into a colony and getting bites from multiple spiders.
