It's just that the article makes it sound so unlikely that it could be that particular species. Hey, I guess I should hope so, right! Although having those spiders around isn't such great news either!
Say, how do you happen to be so up on your spider bite info?
Just killed 5 of those critters in an apartment here in MO. There are other spiders (outside the US, at least) that can cause similar symtoms.
