Just two weeks ago my wife was bitten by an unknown and unseen spider. At
first the docs thought it was a brown recluse, but since her arm didn't start
to fester and ulcerate they changed their minds. Still, her arm and hand
hurt a lot for a week, and a hard circle formed around the bite site. Spooky
stuff.
I understand that Australia is the home of more poisonous spiders than any
land on earth. Hey, Eric, how do you go about chasing the little deathtraps
out of your lbc?
