so I got bit by a hobo spider (with pics) - GoFuckYourself.com

heywood · 12-12-2006, 05:58 PM

This weekend I got bit by some form of brown spider, the doc says its likely a hobo spider, there are a lot of em around here, and I thought I'd post some pics to freak you guys out. It bit me saturday, and the necrosis is already setting in

This is what it looked like at 6am this morning:

And this is how far it's progressed, at 5pm:

Goin pretty good. Got a shot and some antibiotics, the doc says its likely going to get worse before it gets better. I got the fevers and dizziness (a little) but nothing too bad. Definitely hurts like a bitch.

Here is some info on the hobo for those who don't know. I never even heard of one till now.

Good stuff!

sicone · 12-12-2006, 06:01 PM

thats some nasty shit man

Spunky · 12-12-2006, 06:02 PM

Damn..not to freak you out but there was a dude on here..I think his name was BJJB..bite by a recluse..that poor fuckers leg was terrible,looked like a shark took a chunk out of his leg and finally he died..not sure it was due to the complications of that bite..hope it wasn't a recluse man

stickyfingerz · 12-12-2006, 06:03 PM

Well good thing you didnt put it off. Theres been one death due to spiderbite on gfy in the last year.

Phoenix · 12-12-2006, 06:32 PM

thats why all spiders need to die

Jace · 12-12-2006, 06:34 PM

we crushed one of those at my mother in laws house, scared the fuck out of us when we saw it....we had just woken up and looked on the floor and there it was

Two facts:

1. Not all spiders are dangerous

2. Without them, there would be too many insects and ants (even in your houses)...

Miss Nancy · 12-12-2006, 06:46 PM

ouch!!!

Glad you are ok! There was another woman in Oregon w. same problem. They had to cut out 10lbs of skin and muscle on her tummy to stop necrosis. We're in Seattle and have never seen a live hobo only the look a likes brown recluse.

Take Care of yourself!

Ebola · 12-12-2006, 06:48 PM

Do a thorough search on brown/recluse spider + stun gun. There is an unconventional treatment that involves shocking the involved area with a stun gun that has reported success.

I'm not advocating said treatment and don't know if it's safe, you're on your own.

But if I had one of these bites knowing how much worse it can get from here, I'd do some reading up on it.

Ya I remember donating to help him get a laptop not too long before he passed. Sounds like what happened was a heart attack brought on my complications from the spider bite, plus the weight problem and inactivity due to being bed ridden.

I got bit by a brown recluse(pretty much the same spider) on my back when I was a kid. They're not usually anything to really worry about unless you have an alergic reaction to it.

If you do a search you can see his pics

I hate spiders, earlier this fall we had about 10 wolf spiders fall in our window wells next too our basement windows. They couldn't get out and finally died.

Just read this:

Quote:

HERMISTON, Ore. - A small spider bite turned out to be a big problem for Cindy Pettey. Pettey awoke when she was bitten on the stomach in the middle of the night a few weeks ago, but thought little else of it. Then she started running a fever, she felt achy and weak. The bite sore became larger.

Next thing Pettey knew, a doctor was telling her he believed she'd been bitten by a dangerous hobo spider.

Pettey had surgery that removed 10 pounds of skin and flesh, leaving her with an abdomen covered in stitches.

"It looks like I was bit in half by a shark," Pettey said.

Rob Hendrickson, a physician and director of the Oregon Poison Control Center, said the hobo is a non-aggressive spider that bites only when cornered. For example, when someone puts on a shoe with a spider inside.

The hobo is one of two dangerous spiders in Oregon. The other is the black widow. The brown recluse does not exist in Oregon, he said.

"In reality, most spiders are venomous, but aren't capable of penetrating human skin," Hendrickson said.

Hobo spider venom may cause necrosis, or death of the skin. When a spider injects venom below the skin, it reddens, swells, then turns black. But there is some doubt in the medical community about whether venom causes the skin death, Hendrickson said.

"If the venom can actually cause necrosis in humans," he said, "... then it is a very rare event."

Pettey isn't taking any more chances. She found five or six spiders that look like hobos. She also discovered two funnel webs like those made by hobo spiders. The webs, layered and non-sticky, funnel unwary prey toward a circular opening at the bottom of the web.

"I put hobo spider traps all over my house," she said.

Pettey's strength is returning slowly. She works five or six hours a day at her job at the Pilot Travel Center, then returns home exhausted. Her doctor told her it might be six months before she fully regains her energy.

"I come home and sleep for three hours," Pettey said. "It really zaps me."

Hope it ain't that bad for you

heywood · 12-12-2006, 11:23 PM

Yeah it feels pretty sweet right now, that sucks some dude on here died from it already, so I wont be the first.

I feel ok so far, but I'm in the beginning stages of everything so who knows how far it can go. The doc says they can go away in 3-4 weeks, but that's pretty much "miracle" talk, its more likely to be a couple months or more.

I got the shot, and some antibiotics, and I have to come in and get it drained a few times. That should be a real fuckin picnic. I'll keep posting pics as they come.
