Um - Kevin_M4.

That appears to be a tiny picture of a small red spide (with only four legs) on a white background [:D]

Snakes and spiders don't really bother me, but my pucker factor does go way up when I find one near me unexpectedly.

Worse unexpected moment:

Was home on leave and visiting my mother in Tampa with my girlfriend from Japan. She decided she wanted my girlfriend to see Disney Land and we got up early and headed out in two different vehicles because we were going to leave there and head back to GA.

Stopped and got a huge cup of coffee before we left and half way there I had to go! I pulled up and waved my mother and brother to the side of the highway, hopped out and ran over into the tall weeds to relieve myself.

Had just let loose when I looked down and saw one of those things hanging full length across my chest![shock] My apologies to anyone heading west towards Orlando that I flashed that day! I was high stepping it all the way to the car pissing all over myself! Thank god I had a change of clothes.

Spiders FREAK me out. I've been getting a lot better about it, but I still shake all my clothes before I put them on since I don't want a Brown Reclude biting my ass when I put on my pants.

I thought I was the only one that did that. Every day, religiously, without fail.

I ain't afraid of anything on earth except spiders. Every last damn one of the little evil bastards are spawned in hell.

I've killed [i]14[/i] Black Widows in the last 10 days around the foundation of the house (Spring Hatching, I guess) I have soaked the foundation with the most toxic, vile chemical agents that are known to cause death in Arachnids that are commercially available.

The best thing I've found for satisfying and instantaneous spider death?

Kleen-Strip Varnish and Paint Stripper. It's sold at Wal Mart for 6.78 a can, and it's an orange oversized aerosol can.
It Literally turns the little spawns of Satan into goo. Engine Degreaser and Carb Cleaner work pretty good, too.

Damn Spiders...

Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, did I click on this thread. And why the hell did I go through all three pages. I'm not going to sleep well for a while.

I swelled up head to toe when I was six years old from a spider bite. My eyes were swollen shut, and my genitals were bigger than they've ever been! Seriously though, it was horrible. Had to get all sorts of shots, etc. It was scary waking up and thinking I had gone blind.

I f**king hate spiders, but I [b]never[/b] kill them when they're not in the house. They are welcome in my yard/garden, but not in my living quarters.

I have seen my 'Jan Brady' sister literally launch off the sofa vertically from a spider, and my baby sister and myself almost wet ourselves from laughter.

I will never understand how or why people have this major fear of spiders, but if you guys are that serious, you need to deal with it or pray the S never HTF or you will never sleep 'in the field'. Jake the snake is a bigger threat, and he is nothing to have a major phobia of.

Scariest damned thing I've seen for years. Spiders scare the crap out of me. I've seen these kinds down in RedWing MN:

Holy frickin hell!!!!!!!!!! those things live in MN?!?!?!?!?

View Quote

Unfortunately, YES. The one pictured above was found by one of my friends in the Caves at RedWing MN. These spiders can get so big, because they don't die off in the winter. They live deep enough in the caves that there is sufficient heat year-round to keep them alive...

There are some other spiders in the metro area that are pretty big as well. Can't say where, because it's illegal to go there... [;)] Perhaps if you go to college at the Univ of MN I could show you some time... Unless you don't like to see spiders like that (I don't like to, but see them from time to time, YUK) or you don't like seeing cockroaches the size of a SNICKERS candy bar... (They make a distinct CRUNCH when you step on 'em too)

I HATE SPIDERS!!!!! UUGHHH I WILL SHOOT SPIDERS!

Infact I had a pretty large one walk past me once while up at my uncle's farm. It found out what 30 rounds of hot lead tasted like.

I had Orkin over last week to get rid of these guys: (Not a photo of the ones I killed. Those were EFFING HUGE!!! AND AGGRESSIVE!!!!)

Brown Recluse Spider

So, I think I'm safe. WRONG. I'm out barbecuing in the doorway of the garage, and what drops on my leg? AN EFFING MALE BLACK WIDOW!!!

He'd be the little guy on the left, as the females are about double the size. I was wearing leather gloves, so I flicked him off, then stomped the little bastard with my size 10 1/2 jungle boots.

Now, I think I'll just get some of this:

my wife found a big ol nasty spider in our house of course she freaked out and screamed, I captured it in a tupperware jar then put it in the freezer. Little later I looked at it and shook the container, its big black butt fell off, shook it again and its head and all it's legs popped off. Looked kinda like this :

My understanding is that there is no antivenom for the Brown Recluse, which is why I am VERY careful before I reach for anything or put my bare feet down. You can see by the sutures that the guy IS being treated. The flesh goes necrotic and has to be cut out. ICK![puke]

If the victim of this bite would have paid attention to his symptoms that entire necrosis bit could have been avoided.........

poor bastard.

Got chased around the plant by a boxing spider once....creepy, big ass things that are REALLY fast and REALLY aggressive when they get big...I threw a chair at it...which missed...and it kept coming at me ( even more angry ) so I matadored it with a labcoat ( i.e. I blanketed his ass ) then stomped on it for a minute or two.....left the labcoat there and walked away. Don't even wanna know if I got him or not...all I could think of was the medical bay scene in "ALIENS" where the facehugger is chasing Rpiley all over the room.
