Pain from a black widow bite or this from a brown recluse, which would you choose?

 

The thing that sucks is they are very common around here, I killed 7 in a friends apartment one day.

Yikes.

I've only heard about those bites. I guess they turn your tissue necrotic and it just falls off like a well cooked pork rib.

 

I'd take NEITHER. I hate spiders. I get large spiders at the shop but I don't know what they are called. We call them drag racing spiders because they run so damn fast you can't see their legs, and by the time you grab the alcohol or the wd-40 they're GONE! :bolt:

it was aboutthe size of a quarter...

 

I was holding the camera about 2 inches from the bastard hoping like hell the flash didn't piss his ass off....

 

I let most spiders around the house live, we have black ones tht like to jump they're aren't the widows but alot of people think so so they get squashed, we also have the spiders that make a pretty ass web and wait for insect to fly into "banana spiders" is what I call them not sure...

 

But I didnt heasitate to smash this fucker I kinda figured he was bad!

When I was down in Louisiana working last year one of the guys there was changing a light and freaked out because he got brown recluses all over his hand. He was scared that he got bit so he just stared at his hand for about 30 minutes. I had no idea what the big deal was so they showed me these pictures. Now I understand his worry.

haha...yea...always best to assume its evil. i live near some brush at the end of a col de sac and we get tarantulas and scorpions in the house. once i got a huge ass lizard in my bed as well.

i dont like killing things for the fun of it, but i dont see myself grabbing a newspaper and "shooing" a scorpion out of my house...kill them all! :evil:

Was that the guys had you were working with? I know several people tht have been bit but they never look that bad, most of the people I know go to the doctor as soon as the bite looks funny. Just for that reason if I end up with a questionable looking bite I keep a close eye on it.
