Biting spiders...
...in the UK! Our local paper had a story in it today about a local man who was bitten by a spider and had to have surgery on the resultant abscess! Yikes!

Re: Biting spiders...
Last time I was in oz for 3 weeks holiday i was bitten by something although i dont remember it - was probably drunk. When the swelling came down could see the two little fang marks where its gnashers had gone in. I guess the only solution is to visit wearing a space suit.

Isn't it a bit cruel to go round biting spiders in the uk or anywhere for that mater
