RE: The biggest Brown Recluse spider I have ever seen!!!
Stop playing with spiders! Smash her now, LOL!
Get some comfrey tincture, it heals these bites overnight. In case you decide to keep playing with them.... :)
I never got bit. I'm smarter then that LOL.
I'm glad! Just figured if you play with fire, you should keep burn cream on hand. That spider was almost big enough to fillet....
:)I got a blog from awhile back of a big wolf spider we had in our bed. That spider I caught and let go outside.
I used to catch spiders for the Entomology department to milk, to make anti-venom. I am especially good with black widows.
So I guess I play with spiders too, LOL!
:)HA HA I've heard of milking snakes for anti-venom but not spiders. How do you milk a spider? Sounds difficult.
First you need a real small stool....
:)I don't really know how they did it in practice. The most interesting thing they did was to store them under refrigeration. Apparently it was safer to handle them when they were lethargic from the cold.
If you ever run into a web that is unusally strong, be very careful; it is a Widow. They used to harvest Black Widow web to use for crosshairs in bomb sights. THAT used to be TOP Secret, LOL!
