Are Spitting Spiders poisonous

Please let me know because I have found them in my house on several occasions. It looks somewhat like a brown recluse but thanks to this website I know it is not. Thanks

Spitting Spiders - Family Scytodidae
Spitting spiders spit a mucilaginous secretion that is danerous to insects, but is not dangerous to people (unless the person is allergic, which would be very unlikely).
