Thankfully, vermin bites are so vanishingly rare - it takes a few hives of [[honey bee]]s with thousands of bees a colony in close proximity to heavily trafficked areas before you begin to see bites - and these spiders are just too small to penetrate even basic [[clothes]], so you won't be having dwarves spontaneously collapsing in the hallways of your fortress anytime soon.
