What an imbecile.
When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
I saw another man get bit doing the same thing on the boob tube. He was a pro, not an amateur like this clown. It probably won't kill you, but for a day or 2 you will wish you were dead. -------------------------------------------------------- There is a group of related comb-footed spiders called Steatoda (widows are Latrodectus) that look smilar to widows, but do not have the type of red marking like the Widow in the first frame of this video do. Quite possibly the maker of this video did creative editing to scare impressionable idiots like you, who's to say? The one thing I would agree with though, as Black Widows don't particularly like hairless hominids, it is better to never handle one. Unless someone really enjoys making surprise runs to the emergency room. Supposedly what a BW can do. WARNING: This is very gross.... Don't watch it at or immediately after lunch.
They are usually docile from what I know of them. You can handle them maybe 99% of the time with no problem. But that remaining 1% is a bitch. Painkillers don't help. Even those that milk them for venom don't use conscious spiders.
-------------------------------------------------------- A bag of nachos and he's all set! ;) I need to look this up, but IIRC widow venom is neurotoxic and doesn't create this sort of injury. This might be a recluse bite. They create ulcerations that can take a long time to heal. A grandparent was bitten by one. -------------------------------------------------------- That looks like a hobo spider bite too. I have a large scar on my arm from a bite from one. It took forever to heal. It took quite a chunk out of my forearm. It didn't do anything more lasting than making a good scar though.
Looks mild compared to a brown recluse nibble....... " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll
