Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This looks like an Ornamental Tree-trunk Spider (Herennia multipuncta). Like most spiders they have venom but are not considered to be of medical significance. Everyone’s immune system is different though, so of course if he has any symptoms that are cause for concern see a doctor. I hope he has a quick and uneventful recovery.
