Re: Spiders

I was biten last spring by a Brown Recluse..it was just a sore red spot at first but after about 4 days it was pitch black and almost 2 inches across with a swollen red area around it that measured about 6 across. Went to the Med Clinic and the Docter didnt know what to say at first..all he kept saying was "thats impressive!!"..anyway he wouldnt touch it! Said I needed to go to E.R. It had to be lanced, dug out and packed...it took monthes to heal and you can still see the spot today. Needless to say I will be be spider bombing my shop soon..we had the mildest winter here on record which means lots of bugs , spiders and ticks! this year.
