Ouch! I just got bitten by a spider. And then it had the nerve to run around on my arm and leg to

freak me out some more.

Gol-durned scary spider!! (Good thing is was barely the size of a nickel, if that, or I would really have freaked out.)

[supernova]

1. Not poisonous I hope!

eek! That'd freak me out too.

:scared:

3. I don't think so. We only have brown recluses in this area, and I have never seen one in person.

7. Well, I hope it didn't look like this, then:

We have them in this area, too, and my past-wife (ex, not dead) got bitten by one here in Houston. It gave her nerve damage in her arm, possibly exacerbating some other health issues she has now.

Look over the symptoms and see if you need to call a doctor/emergency care.

9. Nope, looked like either a wolf spider or a little grass one. Hard to say, it was so fast.

[kentauros]

11. That's good then.

You'll just have a bite that itches for the next few weeks :P

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Or a big bruise. I've seen that happen before.

[BurtWorm]

2. Ow! Ew!

:insert shuddering smiley if there is one (the scared one isn't violent enough):

You didn't see the actual bite did you?

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. I felt it, then there was an 8 legged critter running all around my arm. Felt like a pinprick.

[Curmudgeoness]

5. If it makes you feel better, the spider was more afraid than you were. nt

6. I think it nipped me because I sat on it a little bit.

[Curmudgeoness]

8. There you go! Eminent death. Scary. nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. It must have been terrified. My bum is HUGE!

[Submariner]

12. If you can shoot webs out of the palms of your hands in the morning

be sure to start a new thread and let us know what it's like, okay?

:hide:

14. K, but if you think for one sec I will start wearing a blue and red lycra outfit...

:rofl:

[Taverner]

15. I hate spiders. Little furry eight-eyed eight-legged spawn of satan...

Same with Hornets and Wasps - if they went extinct, I might not give a rats ass

Honeybees, I like, but those other biomechanical robots from hell can go off and die

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Yeah. We're all pretty scared of them around here

[suzbaby]

19. Couldn't agree more!

:fistbump:

[rrneck]

17. And if you don't bring me a goose or a turkey

you will see him again.

Seriously, keep an eye on that bite.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I will definitely holla if my leg falls off overnight.

[Swede]

20. I hope it wasn't radioactive.

21. Solarcaine is awesome on spider bites....

...works even better on mosquito bites...:-)
