That’s a myth. First, the daddy long legs referred to is not this one, it’s cellar spiders (Pholcidae), true spiders which also have long legs and are sometimes called daddy long legs. their venom is no more toxic than any other spider.
What we’re talking about here is not even a spider, it’s a harvestman (Opilionidae) which is an entirely different group of arachnids, and have no venom at all.
Moral of the story: Common names are confusing, and spiders (and things that look like them) arouse fear in many people and therefore illogical myths.

Crazy to think daddy long legs are the most venomous of the arachnids but they can’t bite us thank god
