My original post was in regards to this one.
Not in regards to your fruitless arguement over which is more dangerous, black widow v. brown recluse.

finding a black widow is like the chances of finding a timber rattler…

> Initially, the bite may feel like a pinprick or go unnoticed. Some may not be aware of the bite for 2 to 8 hours. Others feel a stinging sensation followed by intense pain. Infrequently, some victims experience general systemic reactions that may include restlessness, generalized itching, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or shock. A small white blister usually initially rises at the bite site surrounded by a swollen area. The affected area enlarges and becomes red, and the tissue is hard to the touch for some time. The lesion from a brown recluse spider bite is a dry, blue-gray or blue-white, irregular sinking patch with ragged edges and surrounding redness–termed the “red, white, and blue sign.” The lesion usually is 1½ inches by 2¾ inches or smaller. Characteristics of a bite are further discussed at [American Medical News - Home - amednews.com](http://www.amednews.com/free/hlsa0805).

Not true, rattel snakes use to be very abundant around here untill people started killing the off and destroying their nests. black wiodow spiders prefer a warer cliate. they are very rare around here, however, rattlesnakes, are not as rare, not as coon as they once were, but are coing back.

actually…no spider can penetrate human skin with its bite. They use telepathy to get into your head and make you bite yourself
they’re not quite as bad as brain slugs though

Now i’m really freaked out I had to do 40 hours of community service, and I had always heard of brown recluse spiders being in the area…just never imagined I would ever see one.
anyways I had to do my CS at the Elma transfer station(town dump)
I definately killed a brown recluse, I stabbed it with my metal rake then watched it shrivel up and then picked it up with a piece of paper to check it out and it looked exactly like the pic that someone just posted. thats fucking creapy
