What a Spider Bite Can Do

October 29th, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Anyone looking for a new pet? How about a Recluse Spider? Just be careful you don’t get bitten. It’s venom just contains some tissue-destroying toxins and I don’t think I need to explain what it does.

Apparently this spider can be found in Los Angeles, but the good news is, it hardly moves around, and chooses to operate within a very limited space. An owner of a house could live with this spider for 30 years and not be bitten. However, if it does bite you, it leaves quite a nasty looking mark and should hurt pretty bad.

If you look in the background, he is at a doctors office. Probably not fake. Recluse spiders have a nasty bite.

They’re brown recluses… They’re bite isn’t necessarily deadly, but causes severe ulcerations in the area around the bite. I used to work in a hospital in Kansas and saw a few cases. You’re treated with anti-biotics, and later get a skin graft on the area.

These pictures are sooooo 6 years ago. Most brown recluse bites aren’t very serious and only 8 known deaths have occurred from them. Meanwhile, we have Black Widow spiders around here everywhere… I kill at least one a year around the outside of our house. We also have yellow sac spiders, which can cause damage similar to a brown recluse (and yellow sacs cause many more bites in the US).

Ha!
Try living in Australia, we have 6 of the 10 most deadly spiders and 8 of thhe 10 most deadly snakes.

In Australia, you send the kids out the back yard to play and hope they come back.
… I’m not kidding.

Aren’t very serious??? Uh, yeah, they are. My daughter was bitten on the stomach by one and nearly died. It’s been 7 years and she’s still got oozing and granulation there. It was horrendous.
