False Widow spider bite leaves woman without a finger
 

This happened in my town and she was only sitting on the grass. Scared to death now D:

"Oh no, don't be scared of spiders"
They said
"They're harmless"
They said.

D:

:laugh:

But also D:

It happened in my town too, someone was wearing a onesie </3

I saw a fake widow on the weekend it was under the bin outside of my house, I just ran idk where it is nowhttp://http://s26165.storage.proboar...tFQS2hOGqb.gif

My friends house has been invaded by them, they're everywhere.

They "cut her hand open"... lmao people... they're using this kind of language to scare you! And it's working!

What that article actually says, between the lines, is this: The woman got a spider bite, but it wasn't serious until she got to hospital where she contracted a flesh-eating bug.

Calm down everyone.

D:

I suppose this means more spiders being squashed by people having hysterics over nothing.

:suspect:

And I suppose Little Miss Muffet is not based on fact?


:fist: it frightened her away...

I'm beginning to suspect it isn't fact at all. I'm still awaiting the arrival of Little Boy Blue. He's been a no show.

The only language in that article that scared me was SPIDER :eek:

Large House spider found in Cork area

Bang on.

Spiders seem to be the topic of the hour these last few years.

Deadly vipers are next, you watch.

Poor woman, she was lucky to just lose a finger, another couple of hours and she would have been a goner.
4 or 5 ops and 10 weeks in hospital.

:fist:

These spiders have been in the UK since the 80's and in France and Spain for ages, there is more chance of getting a bad reaction to a bee or wasp sting. If you really want to worry, be afraid of the ticks and mozzies

I dunno bout that Livia - a friend of mine was in hospital this summer with a false widow bite - it happened when she was cleaning a flowerpot at the back of the pub she runs , within 30 mins her hand had swollen big time, then her arm started going black , she went to hosp and was in for 10 days ! she has recently had to have a hole drilled into the bone in her hand as the bite had got into the bone = Thats pretty scary

:umm2:

LEATHERTRUMPET YOU MOTHER****ER I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK AT THAT PICTURE AAHHHH

this is really scary D: I'm always paranoid about swallowing one in the night.
