The doctor reckons she should be OK but spider bites from white tails have resulted in a necrotising type of reaction.
It's sod's law though, all the piss taking I got about coming out here from my mates... "what about the snakes and spiders?"
Still, at least it wasn't a red back.

I don't know if she's alergic to bee stings but I'm REALLY allergic to wasps. She's been bitten on the inner thigh and it looks like a single bite.

How come my number of posts isn't incrementing. I was hoping that a good thing might come out of this incident - my 500 post...
