Wife's the same way.

 

I keep my boots in the garage which had what I think was a brown recluse spider in one of 'em. I did'nt feel the bite but here is the result. Without a massive dose of prednisone I think my damn foot might have rotted off! Not too crazy about spiders either, needless to say..

 

Yup, I've been there. Spiders not the man right out ya quick.

 

Atfer reading the entire post and then reading this addition, this has to be one of, if not the BEST posts that I have ever seen.

 

Man thats ugly lucky you didn't lose the foot or a good part of it sure looks like recluse bite to me yikes.

I had a multi colored bulls-eye something like that on my chest from rolling over and smashing a recluse in bed. Made my whole left side of body ache even my leg for a couple weeks. I couldn't even imagine what a bite on the head after putting a lid on with one inside would be like from one of those little basteds.

It felt like all my joints were all rusted up. And same here steroids oral and topical fixed me up luckily just a dip and a scar left on my chest.

 

We have writing spiders at my house. Webs are beautiful.....still a freaking spider tho. Think this year damned the lizards.......no more spiders allowed. Had 3 crawl out of the backpack I had on my bike. Wonder if anything other than Terminex and newspapers repel these things. AAAAACK! Now I am creeping......thanks guys.

 

I just HAD to click this thread didn't I...
Now I'm going to be paranoid of them too.
I agree that I would more than freak out if one crawled on my face while riding.

 

Makes you wonder how many MC deaths can be attributed to riders freaking out with a spider in their helmet while riding.....

 

5 whole pages of this BS and I am going to weigh in on this insanity. I have to say my piece. If spiders strike that much fear in your @$$ then please, for the love of god, sell your slim and buy yourself a f****** can am. WTF r u??? Do you need this much f****** attention????

 

Bad day?
