Now I'm actually in my account.
I have just googled them and they look like every spider I have ever seen. And they hide in your bed and clothes.
Mr Weeze, your pizza dough is in the mixer. Your family is on route to the airport.

Years ago I was talking to a lady at the Smithsonian Museum in DC...she was showing several different species of spiders. She said that the Brown Recluse (or Fiddle Spider) was the most dangerous in the US.

Thanks, you are really helping
On the plus side, maybe my fire ants will be eaten by my spiders, my spiders will be eaten by my scorpions, and my scorpions will be eaten by my snakes. Snakes presumably get eaten by either the gators or the old lady (while they wiggle and giggle and jiggle inside her).

Oh that's a bit better. The things in my garage are out in the day and live in webs. I'm safe.

Exactly. So gross. I'm guessing that took a long to heal.

10 months. If you look at the website link, it has photos (starting from photo #11) from immediately after the bite, to when the leg - after a large skin graft - had finally healed.
