: Baby Brown Widows
: Latimeria June 29, 2015, 11:04:45 p
I was doing some gardening when I found a few Brown widow egg sacks with some tiny babies all over it.  I was reaching my arm in to remove the deadfall and get the egg sacks out of there when I saw a tiny widow on my bicep.  That little fugger hurt like hell when he bit me and it left quite the mark considering how small he was.

Burned like hell for a few hours and was puffy and itchy.  I took some antibiotics and it finally went away for the most part.  Crazy how such a small thing can hurt so much.

Lesson learned... I hunted the rest down with a pencil torch....

Are you trying to punctured, bitten, stung by every beast in the animal kingdom or something. Sheesh!

You people and your spiders. If you leave them alone they don't bite. Worked for me nearly 50 years.

I figured the "shake weight crew" would pipe up on here! I think a DS board may be in order! Lol

Black widow for sure. I was on heavy antibiotics with a black widow that bit me at the WAP. I could stick a pencil in that hole and had heavy antis for 2 weeks. I saw this little brown widow and it was small... But packed a lesser punch!

Yup, pencil eraser fit right in it. Took antibiotics cuz if the swelling. And now I'll just avoid spiders, you seem to be doing a good job of testing them out first lol
