We live in a 100-year-old house and have had bats find their way into the living space in four different years.

I will take my chances with the bats!

A coworker had a BW bite, took a year or so to heal, and left a deep scar.

We had brown recluse in our 50 year old house. We had metal vertical blinds and you could hear the damn things drop on the window base as they fell. When we moved to a new home, we found dried out recluses stuck to the tape on the boxes.

it is said that you can only get the anti-venom once in your lifetime to calm the intense all over body cramping and extreme pain caused by the black widow- They try to see if you can get through it without anti-venom i guess but many folks cave and get it because the pain is too bad to endure-

I get it: Arachnophobia thread.

But this is NOT a Black Widow.

When I was a kid I used to keep large jugs with Black Wisows, Tarantulas and Scorpions.

Mom disapproved.

Dang,

My Doc cuts on those purple lines and tries to stitch back to closure.

I’ve had 3 Nanzi face lifts, as it turns out.

My blood pressure goes way up in their pre-op; why?

Similar to the brown recluse only worse. That is one frightening wound.

Any live spider I see. I try to make it a dead one. I have seen where people had been bitten by what they said were Brown Recluses.
