Black Widow Spider
Well, it was about to rain so I went out to make sure the 4-wheeler was covered up. *Reached for the tarp to pull it over and low and behold - a female Black Widow sitting on a big egg sack the size of a marble!
I hope ya'll appreciate me risking life and limb to get this pic....had to put the camera phone WAY too close for comfort for this pic... :o These things are all too common around my house. *I've seen half a dozen of em in the past 10 years.

Re: Black Widow Spider
Actually a healthy bloke like yourself could have probably sustained a bite with no major problems. ::)

Re: Black Widow Spider
Yea but you end up with a hunk of dead skin tissue around the bite site, if you are lucky. If you have a sensitivity to it you can go into anaphylactic shock within about five to ten minutes. The wound site is also prone to serious infection due to the tissue unable to fend off bacterial infection from the venom.
Kill it and burn the little egg sack. We got em too, love old garages and barns.

Re: Black Widow Spider
Had em at work pretty bad. One got my wife and that ended most of their lives. Up until that time I had never seen one. She got antibiotics and had no real ill effects after that. She wanted to nuke the place and come to find out, chemicals only work if they are applied directly on the spiders. She is fine now with mashing them. ;D

Re: Black Widow Spider
Brown recluse cause necrosis. I thought the black widdows just caused swelling and pain. In any case smash that F*#ker good and her little eggs too. I'll have to find a pic of the spiders from south GA I'm still not use to the big eight legged freaks.
