BEWARE OF THE FIDDLEBACK SPIDER

[marxjunk]

heres mine, it happened april 15th last year. took 9 months to heal..made me really sick, screwed up my lungs because i was allergic to the medicine they gave me, and now im allergic to any venom, like bees etc, i have an epi pen in my truck...it was 3/4 wide 4 in long and 3/4 deep...

i asked my doctor to cut the scab off and she wouldnt she said let it heal on its own..if it didnt in the next 30 days i would need surgery

it wouldnt heal til i cut the dead skin off..it started smelling like dead meat in the sun..so i grabbed it with a pair of pliers, pulled it out til it hurt, took a side cutter and cut the "scab" thing off..healed up in 2 weeks..it was literally 3/4 of inch thick of dead skin and a weird white scab

it was in my jeans, i left on the floor, when i pulled my belt tight it bit me...and in an hour i couldnt stand up and thought i was going to die...it scared me...my skin was on fire,every inch on my body, if the wind blew,it hurt, if i started to sweat it hurt, my hair hurt too..lol


luckily it was in my hip/belly are and a little fat there stopped it from getting to muscle...im not really back to normal, but getting better all the time...got a wicked scar, looks like someone tried to GUT me with big knife

This is scary as hell; are those spiders found in all areas of the US or just certain states? Where do I get the sticky traps that were mentioned earlier in the thread?

I pray for a speedy recovery for your wife.
