I remember having what was probably spider bite years ago. It felt like it hurt down to the middle of the bone. I feel your pain. Took forever to heal too.

Again, let me repeat "I HATE SPIDERS" Here's a little story; about 2 years ago, I'm drivin home from work and this nasty spider comes out of one of the dash vents on my DD (2001 Outback). Well, as I'm trying to figure out how to kill this abomination, I slam into a curb and pop the two tires on the drivers side! I limp the car to the next street and pull over, cursing myself and here he comes again out of the vent, but this time I KILLED THE FUKR

That sucks man. Fucking spiders, I kill everyone I see. I truly hate the little fuckers. Quick story, about 7 years ago, in basic training in FT. Leonard Wood, we were at the 9mm range. We had to pick up all the brass, well while picking up sandbags I shit you not we found 25 black widow webs. First and only time ever seeing them. One of the guys was like "Leave them alone, there not bothering you" my response was simple, "Shut the fuck up" while I smashed the living shit out of them with my combat boot. Lets just say with the 25 spiders plus some egg sacks, I took out a small country worth. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I don't have any pics, but thank God the wheels were OK. My wife was pissed and called me a pussy! On top of that insult, I had to buy (4) new tires, because of the all-wheel drive (all tires have to be within a red cunt hair of each other dimensionally). I HATE THEM LITTLE BASTARDS!

Got the hospital bill today....... I was actually surprised that it was only $540. I thought it would of been at least $700-800.
Still wasn't cheap but it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Black Widow venom is extremely potent, (15 times as potent than that of the rattlesnakes; it is also reported to be much more potent than the venom of cobras and coral snakes).
In the case of a mature female, the hollow, needle shaped part of each chelicera, the part that penetrates the skin, is approximately 1.0 mm (around .04 inch) long, sufficiently long to inject the venom to a dangerous depth.
The males, being much smaller, can inject far less venom and inject it far less deeply. The actual amount injected, even by a mature female, is very small in physical volume.
When this small amount of venom is diffused throughout the body of a healthy, mature human, it usually does not amount to a fatal dose (though it can produce the very unpleasant symptoms of Latrodectism). Deaths in healthy adults from Latrodectus bites are relatively rare in terms of the number of bites per thousand people.
Only 63 deaths were reported in the United States between 1950 and 1989. On the other hand, the geographical range of the widow spiders is very great.
As a result, far more people are exposed, world-wide, to widow bites than are exposed to bites of more dangerous spiders, so the highest number of deaths world-wide are caused by members of their genus.
Widow spiders have more potent venom than most spiders, and prior to the development of antivenom, 5% of reported bites resulted in fatalities.
Currently, there are three recognized species of black widow found in North America:
The southern black widow (L. mactans)
The northern black widow (L. variolus)
The western black widow (L. hesperus)
As the name indicates, the southern widow is primarily found (and is indigenous to) the southeastern United States, ranging from Florida to New York, and west to Texas and Oklahoma.
Specimens have been found in California as well.
The northern widow is found primarily in the northeastern US and southeastern Canada (only on the Bruce Peninsula), though its ranges overlap that of L. mactans quite a bit.
The western widow is found in the western half of the United States, as well as in southwestern Canada and much of Mexico. Prior to 1970, when the current taxonomic divisions for North American black widows were set forth by Kaston, all three varieties were classified as a single species, L. mactans.
As a result, there exist numerous references which claim that "black widow" (without any geographic modifier) applies to L. mactans alone.
As common usage of the term "black widow" makes no distinction between the three species (and many laypersons are unaware of the differences between them).
