Title: Brown Recluse...
Post by: Stang on April 18, 2007, 11:44:09 AM
Nothing like turning your head to see one on the back of your right arm, then it sprints toward your head.  Eeek.

So long as we don't see you show up as one of the patients featured on "Venom ER," we'll know that you made it through the brown recluse deal.

when they happens you get rid of them the way you get rid of crabs.

Take some gasoline and pour it in the pubic hair. then light a match to it.
This causes the critter to run to the head whereby you stab it to death with an ice pick :D

I got bit by one on the arse once at a paintball tourney. By the time the tourney was over I had skin sloughing off(a weekend) I ended up w/ a second hole back there for a while. Brutal.

Got bit once on the inside left thigh on a late friday nite or early saturday morning... I was asleep. woke up and had this hurtin pimple.

By Sunday this thing had a nasty lookin black head on it and a nice lump underneath..

Monday Morning the lump increased 2 fold and I decided to stick a needle in it...bad move.. it ozzzed black stuff.

Went to my Doctor before Lunch and she decided to treat it with antibiotics and if that didn't work it would take cuttin it out.

Spiders are the things I hate most next to them Flyin Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz...but that's another story.

Before you sleep at night shake out all the bed sheets, slap the crap outta pillows.  Spiders show no Mercy.

I still have a nice black hole on the inside thigh.

Ya, my Dr. didn't know what it was at first and carved a biopsy out of it.  Damn.... it hurts just thinking about it.

Post by: RTR on April 19, 2007, 01:01:33 AM
well...i dunno.

Maybe if y'all had doctors down there that could tell the difference between a spider bite and a shark attack it might be easier for the inflicted.

'Course, all that being said, asides......no you can't have any of our water. Screw ya.

buh buy.

Interesting cure for Brown Recluse bites.

http://www.brown-recluse.com/index.html?google1&gclid=CIyX5pOxzosCFRiaYAodgS_0BA

Also interesting that many of the testamonials mention that the standard treatment from doctors is an antibiotic, which never seems to work.

Pictures of Brown Recluse bites are pretty darn gruesome. :eek:

*edit* A pretty good web page with general  information on the Brown Recluse including a map with over lays showing its natural range. Glad we don't have these nasty spiders in Colorado.

I was bitten by a Brown Recluse in the 80's on my calf and I still have a 3 inch hole in my leg, BUT, They dont have nuttin on the Hobo or Brazilian Wandering Spider. The main difference being that the Hobo spider is highly agressive, very nervous, extremely toxic, and extremely fast and agile!

At first I didn't know what it was.  I mean this thing was big, had hairy legs, was very flat yet wide and had huge eyes.  I was like sheeeet, swiped at it and ripped my shirt off and tossed it as it ran up my arm.  I didn't find the damn thing on the ground though... was hoping to kill it and show it to everyone, but the ****er got away.

Well according to that map, I'm safe up here in Chicago....not so much when down at school in Charleston, IL...


Now the day spiders grow wings and are able to fly...I'm calling it quits.

Had an employee call me one morning and said a spider bit him.  I asked where? he said on nuts!  

An hour later, I get a call from the nurse telling how bad and swollen the bite looks and they need to send him to a specialist.  Anyway, he survived intact.

Check your shorts!

Sounds more like a Wolf spider then a recluse Stang. They look scary as hell but they are very docile. For a ****ing spider.

Take a look at the pictures in the links I posted above. If it was hairy, sure doesn't sound like a Brown Recluse. Also, if you are in Cinncinati you are out of the Brown Recluses normal range. Actual sightings of Brown Recluses outside their normal range are very rare.

Only thing worse than spiders are snakes imo. I saw a dead one once at a reservoir close to where I live, I stomped on it and kicked it *just to be sure* :D

You shouldn't stomp it with your leg, if its poison is dangerous..

Nice black widow. Them damn things are all over our apartment complex. I got a new glass top dining room table a while back and there were 2 under the base when it was deliverd. We now have a pest controll specialist spray our apartment on a bi-monthly basis since they have had a population explosion of black widows and scorpions in and arround our apartment complex. The thing that scares me most is that I was getting ready for work one morning and one crawled out of my dress shoe as I was picking it up to put it on.  :O

Ya those are commonplace here in Surprise AZ.  Widows are good to have arouns the house and yard because they stay put in their webs yet they keep the population of crickets and roaches down(i hate them both but they do very well here in desert climate).

I've had scorpions in the house on several occasions.  They perform the same function as the BW's but they are creepy looking and their wandering habits are cause for concern.  Once the kids came home, I had the house sprayed and still do on occasion.  If one of the kids gets stung, my wife will roast my 'nads.

Fiddlebacks and blackwidows are all over the place where I live....  *shudders*

I can handle any varmint...except a spider.  If you see me running, screaming, and flailing my arms...it's not a snake or a rhinoceros....it's a spider.

You're all a bunch of wooses.

Everyone knows the only thing its acceptable to run from screaming like a girl is a bee or wasp (or any unidentified flying insect for that matter).

Spiders are nuthin.

Luckily the Irvine Company appear to have largely banned insects.
