| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78121705  Chile10/29/2019 08:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow. Okay so I live in South Africa but have maybe seen 5 poisonous spiders in my entire life. Quoting: khoisansun 3 months ago a friend came to visit and got bitten by a violin spider on her foot. It was a three month battle. Really hectic. And then I started seeing them everywhere. Moved the fridge to clean behind it and there were not one but 10 highly poisonous spiders including, black widow, violins and button spiders. Never killed a spider but killed them all. Like enough already. Found a black widow on the couch the other day and one of my sons was bitten on his arm - we did not see it but immediately it swelled and oozed. Put lavender oil and have been treating with this method as I had read somewhere upon any spider bite, putting lavender oil on immediately will render it treatable. It is diminishing without too much pain and issue. So I have been wondering what is the metaphysical link behind this. I mean it is huge to have these tiny creatures that I have never had issue with being so prevalent. On a practical level I did bring in some firewood which has been resting in the garden for a few years. Can only assume that the spiders were resting in the wood and I foolishly bought it inside. Had to share this arachnid overrun. Its mating season for spiders in the southern hemisphere hemi-buddy It should be over in a few weeks...until then watch out |

I have been stung thousands of times by bees, wasps, and hornets, but never bitten by a spider. They're pretty much completely harmless. You're just a big giant sissy. BTW, there is no such thing as a poisonous spider. They're called "venomous spiders." You sound like a 5-year-old (or an American woman) when you talk about being scared of poisonous spiders. |

Quoting: Silver bird 75436794 Spiders are nasty but rarely kill in the US. I think that’s why most people laugh them off. Australia, Africa, Asia, and South America all have some gnarly arachnids that can kill with ease. However if any of y’all live in the south I dare you to find a nastier bite than the cottonmouth in the US. Still doesn’t have as many fatalities as other snakes in the world, but they are semi aquatic and have a cytotoxin that if you’re bit in a desolate place could risk amputation or even death. “When you’re dead you’re dead, but you’re not quite so dead if you contribute something” -John Dunsworth |

You're wrong. And, in spite of your personal experience, Spiders bite people all the time... in fact, you've probably been bitten yourself and never even knew it was from a Spider. For example, tiny red welts that people assume are from Mosquitoes could just as readily be from an Arachnid. Most Spider bites don't cause serious symptomology in humans, so deaths are rare -only 6.6 people die from such bites per annum in the U.S.- and since most people do not need to seek treatment the rest simply go unrecorded by public health agencies. |

Quoting: Silver bird 75436794 You're absolutely correct when it comes to Brown Recluse bites. The surrounding tissue quickly becomes Necrotic, will abcess and resujlt in large craterous -and painful- wounds that take a very long time to heal; and when they finally do, scarring is frequently the result. |

This is because of the cytotoxins, now ponder this, a snake can deliver more than 3x the amount of cytotoxins a spider can. This is why amputations are very common with rattlesnakes, water moccasins, and copperheads. “When you’re dead you’re dead, but you’re not quite so dead if you contribute something” -John Dunsworth |

Honestly snakes freak me the fuck out more than anything else, even sharks or gators being a Florida man myself I was always more scared of losing an arm or leg to a snake than anything else. The idea of the appendage slowly necrotizing to amputation is horrifying, and cottonmouths are nothing compared to a black mamba or king cobra. “When you’re dead you’re dead, but you’re not quite so dead if you contribute something” -John Dunsworth |
