Well-lets start by what type of Banana spider is it? MOST are not-I was using refrence of tarantula's as a means of showing how a spider can be dangerous..."Banana spider"
Occasionally found on bananas from South America in U.S. grocery stores. Not known to be native, but is dangerous. Also referred to as the Brazilian wandering spider. Guiness Book of World Records has this spider listed as the most "poisonous" (should be venomous) spider in the world.

Banana Spider: A very large common spider in North America. Usually hangs in webs with its head facing the ground. It is brightly colored. Its venom is a neurotoxin similar to that of the black widow. However, its venom is not near as potent. Its bite causes local pain and redness with blisters forming. This bite usually resolves within 24 hours except for the bite mark.
