They don't usually though; it's  fairly rare reaction.

[Suu]

Okay, yeah I knew about brown recluses. Afaik, they're the main reason Suu is frightened of spiders.

That and Black Widows. They're all over Florida too. The one time I tried to face my damn fear after the recluse bite was to take a look at the spindly black fucker chillin' all up in my laundry room and hello red hour glass. 

Fuck all spiders. Kill them with fire. Even Ungoliant the Orb Weaver who decided to make our backyard home this past fall. Ugly bitch. FIRE!

[PeregrineBF]

I use one of these for most spider disposal. 1300°C should be enough for any spider.

[Suu]

YES!

[Jasper]

Hmm.  I feel kinda bad for making Kai's thread about bug hatred.  Sorry.

[Triple Zero]

Don't worry Suu and everybody. My spider is halfway across the earth, so it's perfectly safe for either party

I'm just gonna say this one more time. There are /no/ Loxosceles reclusa in the southeastern states of South Carolina, Florida, and the lower 7/8ths of Georgia. And when I say there are none here, I mean I am sitting 2 doors down from a good sized spider collection. There have been no collections of L. reclusa in any of those areas, and by the number of people who CLAIM to be bitten by them, you'd think there would be at least one, but no. It's a cultural thing here in the south to think you have been bitten by a brown recluse. Everybody and his brother thinks they've been bitten by one, but when people go looking for the spiders, they find none.

I know you had a horrible experience with a spider, Suu, but not only does that species not occur in Florida, actively seeking out people to attack is NOT brown recluse behavior; there's a reason it's called "recluse". I just want people to stop spreading this misinformation.

Black widows, on the other hand, are deadly and abundant.

And TASTY!

And when I say no, I mean 10 to 50 specimens in those states over the the last century. For the number of people who claim they've been bitten, that is too small.

[Kai]

Fuck, now I'm all freaked out about all the black widows around.

That and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is the REAL cause of these incidences of "recluse bites".

[Doktor Howl]

We have to eat nature before it eats us, Kai.

That sounded like social commentary.

Raw survival, sir, raw survival.

Do Staphylococcus aureuses have eight legs and a fiddle on their back? Coz we gots lots of those in Tennessee.

No, but my 80-year-dad survived a MRSA case he picked up in Vegas, so you know, it can't be THAT bad.
