Just when we all thought I couldn't be more afraid of sp*ders... I get bit/stung/sucked on/whatever they do by one of the damn things, and swell up so bad it requires surgery, and a round of anti-biotics.

Good times.
My leg hurts, man.
Not to mention the emotional aspects for a severe arachnophobic, such as myself.

I didn't actually see the spider that got me, but brown recluse is the most likely culprit in my neighborhood.

OMIGOD! That's awful! You must have some motherfrigging spiders where you live! Give me a country where they all hibernate in winter for sure! Ick!!!

I hope you're feeling better very soon!!!

The worst ones we have are the big dock spiders at the cottage! EWWWWWW! =>}

We hatessssssss them!

That would be nice. I've noticed ours are around less in winter, but they're still around. Maybe if it snowed, they'd go away. It's rained a lot lately, and now it's unseasonably warm, and I've heard that combination brings them out in full force like this.

*shudder*

Dock spiders, huh? They sound huge. I've seen some major ones on camping trips near lakes, so I can imagine.

Fortunately, we don't have brown recluse or black widow spiders in Canada, as far as I know.

I LOVE the cold and the snow cause it gets rid of garden spiders and dock spiders until Spring. Heh heh.

Some dock spiders ARE huge! Ick! =>}

Thank you. T'was quite an emotional thing. Physically, though, it seems to be much better. :)
