Re: BEWARE OF THE FIDDLEBACK SPIDER
Just an update.
We had our LAST visit to the wound care clinic today. Yeah, 5 and 1/2 months since she was bitten.
However, it is STILL not completely healed. They just don't need to monitor it any more.
Have attached a couple of pics. First one is from Sept 24, three months from the bite. You can see the rash she developed fromt he wound vac. It did help shrink the wound, but we had to discontinue after the rash spread from her knee to her face.
Second one I took tonight. The area is down to about 5 inches by 2 inches, so definitely better than it was. Very little seepage now, mostly just scar tissue that will continue to strengthen.
My beautiful angel has never complained once this whole time. I am the luckiest man alive.
Good news is I believe we have just about eradicated the little buggers from our home. We haven't caught a fiddleback in quite some time. We have caught a couple of scorpions in the glue traps. No fiddlebacks.
