Re: BEWARE OF THE FIDDLEBACK SPIDER
wow that looks BAD.....hope for a fast recovery!
FYI....in AZ we don't let anything lay on the floor for fear of the dreaded scorpions.....we need to be very diligent with the exterminator!

Re: BEWARE OF THE FIDDLEBACK SPIDER
I have a guy that comes out to spray as a proactive measure. He likes to talk, the more he talks the longer he sprays. I schedule him for his last route of the week and he uses all of his product up. My house looks like it was rained on outside. Inside the basement and first floor are done.I've been using the same guy for years and nothing lives...Nothing! Hard to find a guy that takes his job so serious...LOL

Re: BEWARE OF THE FIDDLEBACK SPIDER
Lynn,
If you guys want a cat but the allergies are the only reason keeping you from getting one you might want to look into a "knockout cat." The gene that causes the cat to produce dander and other allergens has geen "knocked out" of their dna. I know of someone who has 2 of these cats that previously suffered from allergic reactions to them, and they have been pleased.

Knock Out Cat? That sounds like our "Freddy Kruger Kitty", A.K.A. "Jabba The Kat", who has paws the size of baseball gloves.
He doesn't waste his time on anything smaller than a dog. He lets the two other kitties handle the lighter fair; mice, birds, spiders... Here he is with one of his "catches": |

But.... not unless you can knock out the smell from cat $hit. I don't care what the litter companies say. Neither of us can stand that smell.

Re: BEWARE OF THE FIDDLEBACK SPIDER
Another "cool" cat that is (somewhat) hyper allergenic is a Bengal. It is a cross between an Asian Leopard Cat (smaller than a leopard) and an Egyptian domestic cat.
They are about the size of medium dogs, and have the personality of a dog. They usually love the water and can be trained to "go" outdoors. I had one in college. RichP

Re: BEWARE OF THE FIDDLEBACK SPIDER
After the surgery, Sherri had a "cleaning" last week. Basically just scrape out the fatty tissue that has dried up. Wound is 7.5 inches by 4 inches. She was fitted with a wound vac on Fri., which runs 24/7. Looks like she is carrying around a catheter. Has to go in twice a week to have the sponge changed.
Insurance approved the wound vac machine for <span style="font-weight: bold">three months</span>!!! We are hoping that isn't the recovery time from this point. Been 5 weeks today since she was bitten. We have caught about 18 fiddlebacks, but nothing in our room in about 10 days, so maybe we have gotten most of them. I am still astounded that there is no anti venom or other medically accepted treatment other than let the area finish rotting, then cut it out.
