Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008Ping Pat Question about the spider bite
How did the brown recluse spider bite turn out. You disappeared and I just remember about it. Did everything turn out ok about it. | How did the brown recluse spider bite turn out. You disappeared and I just | remember about it. Did everything turn out ok about it. Hey Matthew! Thanks for asking. As it turned out, there were three bites. I had no serious ill effects. As I learned later, very often nothing too bad happens from this kind of bite. Also, it was so strange, last winter I bumped into the woman who owns the website, http://www.brown-recluse.com/ - she lives in the same county as I do, and we met at a political gathering. We never talked about spiders except she made a point to identify herself as the "brown recluse lady". I think my mind is going, because I ought to have talked with her about this subject! One day I will.... She still has some DVDs I lent her, so I will see her again, when she returns them. That is good you are very lucky AS you know tanada lost part of her back side to be polite. I hade a friend that they had to literally peel his skin off his leg to save it > | How did the brown recluse spider bite turn out.

When it was at the worst stage I could stick my finger into the hole in my leg all the way to the first joint. You could see bone. I didn't know what to do until I visited with an herbalist friend who gave me a potent blood purifier combo, then it cleared up in a matter of days. > That is good you are very lucky > > AS you know tanada lost part of her back side to be polite. I hade a > friend that they had to literally peel his skin off his leg to save it It's all in her head, Matthew. She was never bitten by a brown recluse. If she had been she wouldn't have a chunk of her leg to show for it. I've seen spider bites like that. They are a common problem in the south and you don't just get over them, ho hum, everything is fine. Jill >>> How did the brown recluse spider bite turn out.

"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" - Ohio State University entomology factsheet They also note that most people who think they've been bitten by a brown recluse have in fact been bitten by something more innocuous. Be it misidentification or a mild reaction (i.e. the normal kind) it isn't worth throwing personal abuse at somebody for. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts > "The physical reaction to a brown recluse spider bite depends on the amount > of venom injected and an individual's sensitivity to it.

Thanks, Jack. Regardless of my personal opinion of various people and their behaviors, there is one behavior I can't stand, and that's when groups gang up on one person. That dynamic often takes on a life of its own and becomes "mob mentality", which as we all know, can be very dangerous in real life. It's pretty unpleasant on the net, too, and I really wish people would stop doing it.  SignatureJoyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ > Thanks, Jack.

I remember that she got bitten by one and when the group tried to give her advice it started a major war and she left.

Cyberspace seems an odd place to try and build anything other than friendship. So Matthew, you are safe from this area. I bet I will hear from a dozen people who met on line and get slammed all over the place!! > Pam is in trouble now... Lee >> Check your email, young lady. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> > >> > Pam S. shamelessly matchmaking to be honest, you know you could already have someone if you wanted, and I am proud of you for waiting and a while and making friends, it is very rewarding to see you who had a long marriage, come into your own as an individual without making the man into a saint, or the devil... I will take that second part if its every needed, Lee, > No, not really but I didn't do the "match.com thing" family and friends > wanted me to, for a lot of reasons.

I can't recall any of my efforts that paid off in the long run. The one I thought would ended a few months ago. She was too greedy and so was he.

Thank Bast, this should mean you are going into retirement before you even get started. Long distance stuff seldom works, not that I have even tried that, but so "they" say.
