And what do you think is gonna happen to all those spiders? Think they will all live, grow up and breed? NO!! Most of the batch will probably be gone in a couple of months!

That's how Mother Nature deals with overpopulation, which is fine and it works unless YOU are one of the overpopulators who is eliminated!

I am not afraid of spiders but I sure don't want them in my house!

A few years ago I saw a big fat spider on the kitchen floor. I was
going to do my usual thing - slide a piece of cardboard under it and
trap it under a plastic cup and toss it outside. Except the moment I
jolted it literally hundreds of teensie baby spiders swarmed off its
back! Okay, *that* freaked me out so out came the bug spray.

My son was here the other day and showed me the remnants of a spider
bite he had recently, along with some photos of it at its worst. I was
pretty nasty.

The brown recluse is horrific in its effects. Tissue necrosis can be
extensive,completely killing flesh clear to the bone. Fortunately,
I've never seen one (that I know of).

I'm not afraid of spiders, intellectually, but they plain give me the
creeps and I'll do most anything to avoid them. I was surprised to
see black widows have no problem surviving the snowy Rockies at 8K ft.

I don't mind spiders but I hate what we used to call Bombay Runners,
cockroaches that abounded in Hong Kong, nearly as big as a small crab
and when you turned on the light at night, you could hear them
scuttle. You always turned on the light so they would scuttle, it
was even worse if you stepped on one, they sort of snapped and all
this white oozy stuff went on your foot.

I read about a woman that was bitten by a brown recluse, she lost both arms and both legs.

I have a large spider phobia for sure. I read late at night in bed and
I've had one of those fast moving fuzzy ones climb right on my bed,
across my book, the right at me. Talk about waking up very fast, oh
man. I hit the ceiling and if I don't kill it right off and it runs
away, I'll sleep in the living room on the couch until I can find and
kill it the next day.

I did get a spider bite at night one time on my inner thigh. I tried
to heal it for about a month before I finally went to the doctor. He
figured it was a brown recluse. Their poison will destroy your tissue
and won't heal. I got anti-biotics as a cream for the bite area and
also anti-b pills to swallow. He said we'll treat this from both
ends...exterior and interior.

You might want to check out Snopes for that one.
I was bitten by one once. Your immediate tissues won't heal without
some doctor attention but that story sounds very bogus to me.

Very large, but not a tarantula. Maybe a brown recluse? Didn't see it

We all have phobia's of one sort or another - a friend was bitten by a
spider when she was walking through the woods. Her bite didn't heal
either and ultimately they cut flesh away then when that healed did a
skin graft for her.

Brown recluse spider bites are worse than anything could be done by a
black widow. The venom from a brown recluse gets necroptic very fast.

What's necroptic? Is that where everything looks dead?

Couldn't resist, sorry.

[jmcquown]

Brown recluse spiders are rarely seen. In the southern US they tend to
hide under rocks outside. But they do come inside. They hide in dark
spaces. They are brown, with long legs. They have a violin shape on
their back.

Ever see a black widow with the red hour-glass on her back? The brown
recluse has a violin.

Their bites are very poisonous. The venom causes necrosis, which means
it is acide that eats away at the flesh. If you don't go to a doctor
right away your flesh dies. It can be very bad.

Am I afraid of spiders? Nope. I know enough to go to a doctor if I let
one bite me. No spiders in my house.

I have had a lizard in the house. That was fun, what with the cat and
all. :-D

If you have, yer were hallucinating. The red hourglass is on the
black widow's underside.

As fer spiders in yer bed, I may have been there. Last spring I
thought I might have had an infestation of bed bugs. Turns out it
wasn't, but what was biting me on the lower legs. My buddy sez baby
spiders. Whatever it was, I kept from being bit by using DEET on my
legs, fer a few days. Then the bites stopped. Never did figure it
out. 8|

seriously? *You're* making fun of *me* with webtv? Do you not realize that
you have just validated everyone who has laughed at you for it?

One note... you can't lay off the crossdressing stuff in your lame attempt
at humor. You got caught on it already, and we all know about it, and "I

Now fuck off and die, you phony little pussy, and next time you decide to
start flinging shit at people outside your own back yard, try to prepare
your freeble little mind for the fact that you need to be willing to take
what you dish out, because someone may do the same thing back at you. If
you're going to keep being a pussy who wants to give shit but screams like a
sissy baby when you get it back, you'll just spend your sad little life
going through episodes like this where your true nature is revealed to all.

I'm done with you now, shithead. That is, unless you want more.

And unless you decide to resume making personal attacks on people who are
trying to discuss reasonable things. A little good natured banter between
rivals is fine, but you cannot seem to understand why it's offensive to
invade other forums and turn on a tirade of hateful personal attacks on
individuals. So if you go that route again, I'll be back on your ass, with
Goatboy, Ronald, and a bunch more tasty morsels. And go ahead and post all
the stupid shit you want in the Chiefs forums... you're not getting any
action because they are too smart to take your juvenile bait.... and
besides, yuou're just not funny.

Now please refrain from being an asshole and I will do the same.... or not,
your choice.

Besides, I can be a much bigger asshole than you when provoked, so do the
smart thing while you have this one opportunity at a truce.

A friend of mine had a spider in his shoe. When he put it on his foot,
the spider got him. The flesh died and he had to have skin grafts on the
top of his foot. I saw it before the skin grafts, a rotting hollowed out
section.. nasty....

All I could imagine was even half of those those hundreds of tiny

No thanks!

Many years back I had a couple of argiopes (aka writing spiders) spin
huge webs, one on each side of the patio doors. Gorgeous big black &
yellow garden spiders. Quite pretty! Just stay outside, please. :)

LOL okay... I haven't seen one since I was about 7 living in SoCal. I
just know they have that red hourglass thing.

How would a bunch of baby spiders get in your bed?

Jill

[jmcquown]

If she didn't see a doctor at all until waaaaay later, I suppose it's
possible. But hey, even without insurance who would let it get to that
point?

I saw the results of a brown recluse bite when I was at a doctor's
office back in TN. The guy was waiting in the area near the checkout as
I was leaving. He had a big ugly, oozing infected area on his calf
about the size of a half dollar and I heard the nurse tell the doc
"spider bite". It looked pretty gross.

They didn't attack or bite but were so unpleasant. It also meant that
if you thought you had spilled anything they would consider edible on
your clothes, it must be washed before it went in the closet.
Otherwise, next time you took it out, there was a hole :) I had a
dress my mother loved and I hated, can you guess the Runners destroyed
it?

That sounds like a nasty bite Gary. I have a spider phobia too but
my cats are slowly curing me of it. They get all excited and in

anymore. I used to freak out knowing there was one at large but
lately it hasn't seemed to bother me. The first dozen or so times
I couldn't sleep.

Yikes! One time I was in a doctor's waiting room, waiting for
someone, and this woman told me she'd been bitten by a spider that
came out from under her car seat. I could have hurled when she
showed me that nasty wound, hard to believe it was caused by a little
spider.

Mine wasn't very big at all and it didn't spread...it just never
healed until I went to the doctor and got antibiotics. Since I had
been trying to heal it on my own for over a month, he wasn't real sure
it was a spider bite...he just guessed. Anyway, the antibiotics did
heal it up quickly so I guess he was right.

That sound very frightening. I like spiders but the ones I see are quite
small. I think the biggest I have seen was about 1/2 inch across. Oh and I
have never been bitten so I don't know if the ones I see do that.
