The joys you go through being bitten by a brown recluse, or hobo spider.

[funboy6942]

Once bitten make sure you can go in right away so the doctor can do this to you

Once bitten you need to go in. He will open the bite up, clean it out, and fill the hole up. Then later, you get to take the bandage out of the hole, yes I said out OF the hole, and get to squeeze out all the fun time goo

Such as these lucky winners got to do:
OH, I hope you havent eaten yogurt anytime soon this morning

Another good video, of what the doctor does to you when you been bitten. IMO, much better then what happens to you if you dont go in right away.

Here is what it will start to do to you if you dont get treated right away.

Anyway, to see more, just look up brown recluse spider. The last video has a good picture in the beginning showing what one looks like. Where I live, and in my home we have them. have not yet been lucky enough to be bitten by one, but when I do will update you all step by step, with day to day and video too
Anyway, back to eating my breakfast, where I put the soft butter and strawberry jam?

Is the Brown Recluse the most poisonous spider?

 

[funboy6942]

I want to say yes, but do not quote me on it, its too early for me right now to remember.
I do know it will mess you up more, body wise, then any other for its size for its poison rots the flesh off who ever it bites if not treated right away, and causes more pain then you can ever possibly imagine.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Probaby not the most poisonous. I think it's bite just makes your flesh fall off your body.

Doesn't your house have a Brown Recluse infestation?

 

[KB]

The recluse is perhaps the most poisonous native to North America; however it still isn't very deadly. The Funnel Web is considered one of the most toxic: http://www.austmus.gov.au/spid...us/funnelweb/index.htm, but its an aussie so no worries here mate.

 

[MisterJackson]

Don't know if it's urban legend or not but I've heard the grand daddy long legs is the most poisonous, but doesn't have the capacity to bite. Can anyone confirm, I'm too lazy to google right now.

Used to be when we first moved in. Got them almost completely gone. See but one a month now if that. Always spraying, bombed the home, and got pets that love to eat them upstairs downstairs, and in the basement. My dogs are weird when they see an insect, especially my german mix, she pounce on them, squishes any insect no matter what it is, then eats it.

I have had them go across my legs as I sit here all day. Learn not to move and startle them, then once off me I kill them with the can of raid or squish.

I read somewhere that these things were supposed to be docile spiders which I find hard to believe. I have had more then one chase or jump at me if I missed it when I tried to swat at it, at it didnt give up any time soon. And the damn things are fast, Im hobbling away trying to swat at it and not fall over, as this tiny fucking spider is hunting me down. its actually quite funny after I kill it to think of how I look running away from the damn thing thats trying to bite me I missed trying to kill. OH and they watch your movements too. One I went to kill on the wall with a shoe stopped dead in its tracks and followed the shoe I was about to hit it with, crouched down and jumped off the wall at the shoe, and its supposed to be docile. My ass

But they are almost all gone, along with out wasp infestation as well. had almost none of them this year too, last year though, crap, couldnt kill them fast enough either. Those are docile though. Mean looking sucker they have down here. Up north we had black tiny ones, here they have these massive reddish in color ones some longer then 2 inches, and scary as all hell when you get up to one. But they dont do jack. You can walk right up to them, past them, touch them, and they never sting you. the ones uo north would hunt you down to sting your ass though, but these southern ones, never stung us one time, and were talking about walking in a garage that had over 100 of them flying around or more I would walk through to go get into my car. But catch one of these and they get pissed off then. I caught one with some pliers, and it went ballistic trying to sting the pliers and going mad. He was in my room and landed on my desk, so I caught it to set if free outside, it didnt like me doing that one bit.

Anyway, theres a little story, hope you liked. and yes I am nuts, crazy, what ever, dont care, this is my house, not theirs, and Im not going anywhere soon, they will be.

Most venomous?

There is an urban legend stating that daddy long-legs spiders have the most potent venom of any spider, but that their chelicera (fangs) are either too small or too weak to puncture human skin; the same legend is also repeated of the harvestman and crane fly, also called "daddy longlegs" in some locales. Indeed, pholcid spiders do have a short fang structure (called uncate). However, brown recluse spiders also have uncate fang structure, but are able to deliver medically significant bites. Either pholcid venom is not toxic to humans or there is a musculature difference between the two arachnids, with recluses, being hunting spiders, possessing stronger muscles for fang penetration.

Not sure if its the most poisonous ever -- but yes, it's a very poisonous spider, but it isn't capable of biting humans.

oh yeah...and the video where the dude is pulling like a worm out of his cheek....i'm feeling sick now...that's absolutely disgusting...i've seen brown recluse spider bites before, but never a WORM inside the bite...or whatever that was...i don't know...just nasty.

Most likely human tissue or something to that effect of the crap in under the skin rotting and coming apart, with all the goop. Big ole puss pocket A yummy Cheese Pus Pocket with a golden flaky crust, with a special sauce to give the flavor that extra kick when you eat it. Yup kids, tell your parents you want Puss Pocket for dinner! Just a gentile squeeeeeeeze into a cup, and you have a tasty dinner. great for the family on the go, you can take it with you, giving your family the food it deserves anywhere you go. You just remove the easy to peal scap off the lid, and squeeze out your family a tasty snack anytime they want to eat.
Thats puss pocket, from the same makers of Snotgers, and Phlemogs.

If I was shooting that video though, I would of made me some toast and had it oooooze out onto he bread, spread it out over it, and gave it a bite for the crowd. Or at least stuck it in a shot glass.

Mythbusters said they had a moderately poisonous venom, but less toxic than a bee sting IIRC. They also said the fangs were potentially capable of delivering the venom to a human but it would have to be under ideal conditions (e.g. hitting the right spot on the skin).

oh snap! when i was little, i used to pick off a lot of harvestmen and scared other campers. i was put in a lot of trouble in the past. those days were fun.

 

[T9D]

Found another freaking HUGE hobo spider in the house the other day. I hate those flippen things. I wish there was a way to eradicate them. That's about the 10th large one I've found since I moved in this summer.

 

[alkemyst]

was waiting for daddy long legs to get mentioned. Brown Recluses are very dangerous, they can lead to amputation but rarely death. It supposed to be an extremely painful ordeal.

 

[skrilla]

One of the only reasons I like living in MN. Spiders, snakes, big ass bugs, whatever - we don't get too much of that up here.

So much FUD about them yet again. Yes, there is the small possibility for stuff like this to happen. However, its reliant on several factors. First, you must actually get bitten (which believe it or not is not that likely to happen). Then, the spider must actually inject a fair amount of venom. Next, you must be susceptible to said venom. Then, you must basically completely ignore the fact that you will be getting sick and the noticeable flesh irregularity around the bite. If you do all of these, or have a strong allergic reaction then, yes there is a slight possibility for all the bad things that happen when you see the infamous pictures. Essentially what I'm saying is you have to be vulnerable to the venom and also an idiot.

Spider bites are improperly diagnosed a lot. If you would actually educate yourself on them, you'll find what happens is not the bite does the damage, but people ignore it and then it gets infected and thats when all the nasty stuff really happens. The same thing is true of snake bites, although with them people tend to die from going into shock from the panic. If you get bitten by a poisonous animal, stay calm, and get to help as soon as possible, or take some precautionary measures. Your ignorance (and subsequent fear) about them is as likely to kill you as the bite/venom is in all honesty.

No, the Daddy Long Leg (the real one, not the one that people commonly call the Daddy Long Leg which isn't even a spider) is not the most poisonous. Its like the King Snake, where people noticed them killing spiders that humans have more intense reactions to and so they think it must be more poisonous.

The physical reaction to a brown recluse spider bite depends on the amount of venom injected and an individual's sensitivity to it. Some people are unaffected by a bite, whereas others experience immediate or delayed effects as the venom kills the tissues (necrosis) at the site of the bite. Many brown recluse bites cause just a little red mark that heals without event. The vast majority of brown recluse bites heal without severe scarring (http://spiders.ucr.edu/avoidbites.html).

Initially, the bite may feel like a pinprick or go unnoticed. Some may not be aware of the bite for 2 to 8 hours. Others feel a stinging sensation followed by intense pain. Infrequently, some victims experience general systemic reactions that may include restlessness, generalized itching, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or shock. A small white blister usually initially rises at the bite site surrounded by a swollen area. The affected area enlarges and becomes red, and the tissue is hard to the touch for some time. The lesion from a brown recluse spider bite is a dry, blue-gray or blue-white, irregular sinking patch with ragged edges and surrounding redness--termed the "red, white, and blue sign." The lesion usually is 1½ inches by 2¾ inches or smaller. Characteristics of a bite are further discussed at http://www.amednews.com/free/hlsa0805.

The bite of the brown recluse spider can result in a painful, deep wound that takes a long time to heal. Fatalities are extremely rare, but bites are most dangerous to young children, the elderly, and those in poor physical condition. When there is a severe reaction to the bite, the site can erupt into a "volcano lesion" (a hole in the flesh due to damaged, gangrenous tissue). The open wound may range from the size of an adult's thumbnail to the span of a hand. The dead tissue gradually sloughs away, exposing underlying tissues. The sunken, ulcerating sore may heal slowly up to 6 to 8 weeks. Full recovery may take several months and scarring may remain.

It is difficult for a physician to accurately diagnose a "brown recluse bite" based simply on wound characteristics. It is absolutely necessary to have the spider for a positive identification. Necrotic wounds can result from a variety of agents such as bacteria (Staphylococcus, "flesh-eating" Streptococcus, etc.), viruses, fungi, and arthropods (non-recluse spiders, centipedes, mites, ticks, wasps, bedbugs, kissing bugs, biting flies, etc.). Necrotic conditions also can be caused by vascular and lymphatic disorders, drug reactions, underlying diseases states, and a variety of other agents. An annotated list of conditions that could be mistaken for a brown recluse spider bite is available at http://www.ama-assn.org/amedne...002/08/05/hlsa0805.htm. Misdiagnosis of lesions as brown recluse bites can delay appropriate care.[/L].
