Worry not! 'Orb weaving' spiders are very timid, and very reluctant to bite. If disturbed, their first response is to scramble up into the tree and abandon the web. Symptoms from a bite are usually "negligible or mild local pain, numbness and swelling. Occasionally nausea and dizziness can occur."
BTW, just yesterday I was reading IMDB and I figured out what your last livejournal name was all about - Nineveh is one of the capitals of ancient Assyria, which the bridgekeeper asks about in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Ah hah!!!!!!!
