There’s no reason to be afraid of Opiliones. Their mouthparts are the wrong shape and too small to do harm to a human. Also, unlike spiders, there are no known Opiliones with venom. Their chelicerae are for grasping only.
Like sea spiders, which aren’t even closely related s, but belong in the pycognids in the chilcerates, unusual because they respire through diffusion in their legs,
I think arachnids that aren’t spiders scare me even more.
