we have wolf spiders here too, but they are not so bad, jsut fast fuckers.

some dude on here got bitten by one and he had a huge chunk of his leg removed because of it.

He has passed on now, RIP.

My friends dad almost got his leg amputated. Over 7 years and he is still bruised quite badly from the bite.

Envenomation is a wicked word.

:thumbsup :( RIP

My kid got nailed by a venomous caterpillar called an Io Moth recently. Just brushed up against it while it was clinging on a leaf branch. Stung him like crazy and he was freaking out. I never even knew caterpillars could do that.

Check out all the stingers this fucker has. That's why it hurts so much. They lance you with a multitude of venom all at once.

Thats a freaky looking little fucker... Did you kid have to go to the hospital or was it like a bee sting?

Nasty shit...

Egomancer

I hate spiders

I blew my load all over one of those things.

bjjb....

freaking out

Here in oregon we have the "Hobo Spider" they call them a "Hobo" because the spider caught a ride from Europe into the Port Of Seattle... the spider has branched out as far north as British Columbia, as far south as Yreka, California and as far east as Utah...

Same principle as the Brown Recluse, it rots the tissue... they are ALL OVER here... I have about 200 in my yard right now under rocks, in between shit, yadda yadda.... 50/50 chance it will be a venemous bite if you're hit..

I've seen em as big as about 1 1/2 inches...

Ugly little critters.. cats love to play with them...

My regular FT job is in healthcare.

Please, if any of you get bitten by a Recluse spider, go to your doctor IMMEDIATELY!

The infection starts off in the tissue but as it progresses, it can break into the bloodstream and go systemic.

Regular antibiotics usually aren't effective either. You have to go into the hospital and have IV antibiotics (vantomycin, gentomycin).

If you get a bug bite and aren't sure what bit you, watch the area closely. If you start spiking a temperature or the tissue around the bite becomes painful, go to the doctor. It might not be a Recluse but several insects will bite you and then lay eggs in the bite area. They can do that quickly. You would think they wouldn't have time, but that's how fast it can happen.

Nasty stuff!

Every summer we see at least a half dozen people have to have large chunks of flesh removed or even fingers, toes, limbs amputated.

:Oh crap

I dont know what i'd do if i had a bite like that.:disgust

mmmmmmmm tasty spiders :)

spiders really suck..never liked them

holy shit on the phone with the bug man! :helpme

That dude died? Who was it I remember him posting about getting bite never knew he died and I can't remember what his nick was.

I met a guy that had a bite from one in Arizona it necrotized all the flesh on his calf, fucked him up good.

Scary shit all over this thread :(!

like i said before

bjjb was his name and i could show you the pic of his leg...
but you gotta have a strong stomacht....

I fucking hate spiders.

bjjb was his nick

I remember that nick.. didn't know he died.. wasn't from the spider bite ws it?

Damn..those Wolf spiders look scary

holy shit, you serious? what did he die from?

I fucking hate spiders

no, he died from a heart attack I believe. The spider bite probably didn't have anything to do with his death.

The Funnel Web Spider has killed more webmasters than any other :2 cents:

They leave big holes with those fangs:(

those are some nasty spiders :disgust

We have saddle back caterpillars here in Florida and they give a pretty nasty sting. They are only about an inch long, bright green with a marking on their back that looks like a saddle. They hang on the underside of leaves. I'd be out mowing grass on a riding mower without a shirt on and drive under a low hanging branch and one would rub all the way down my back. Stings for about a half hour. Burns like a man-o-war sting but not as bad as a stingray barb. I know because I've got hit by all three. I think I need to stay inside.:Oh crap

wtf? when did he die and how?

Yea, I did a search on his name and now I remember the thread about him passing away.

Ouch, those are some nasty looking bug bites

They creep me out :Oh crap
