Spider bites

[johnsmit]

I know we have a few know poisonous spiders in B.C.
The black widow and the brown recluse. .buy it seem like there are any number of other poisonous spiders out there , usually the little ones it seem .

If you look at a spiders face you will see fangs on every one and the bit theit pray and inject a nuiral poison which paralyzes and enzims that displace the pray to turn it in to liquid .

I here a but so many people saying I have a painfull spider bite and in some cases they get very infected and do tissue
damage ..Very ugly!

So why is there not a lot more know or said about this danger , get bitten in the wrong place or don't look after a bite properly and it could be life threatening.

As kid I grew up hereing about tarantula and deadly snakes in Brazil .And here all we would mention is the black widow, and I have seen them many times..
But to think that the little buddy spiders cause so much bites it is scarry too.

We got rattle snakes too in the interior .quite a few around dessert areas of Kamloops, kalowna, penticton and on down to ossoius and south.. I won't be hiking in the bush

It is a serious topic and did understand what you meant. Sometimes I just can't help myself. Silly side is always just under the surface.

I have fixed it

I did not see it myself even after you poked fun at it
"Bits".."bites"

I'll be grateful if the radioactive variety bites me.

kidding aside, maybe Vancouver isn't the right climate
for the poisonous kinds. the ones found in most homes are rarely harmful.

I opened the thread thinking this would be some kind of sexual act that we're discussing... Nope, this is a legit thread about spiders... Nice :hail:

I was bitten on the back of the neck by a brown recluse spider 50 years ago, and my immune system now reacts to any insect venom. I control the allergic reactions with antihistamines.:spider::spider::spider:

Something New

Today a friend and I were eating at a picnic table and both got bitten by a bug I have never seen before.
It's mosquito sized, looks like a very small moth and bright red. The bites sting!
Thanks to global warming we will be getting more weird things coming up from the South.
