tikibars - you'll have to talk to my wife Sally about spider bites. She was bitten on the hand by a brown recluse spider & had to go through the whole debreeding / skin graft thing. You'd never imagine how something so small could cause so much damage. She's got a scar on the back of her hand the size of a silver dollar. If she hadn't got into the hospital when she did, she'd probably be wearin' a hook right now! ARRRR...kinky

I ummm... sat too close to one of those brown recluse and have a nice faded patch of brown on my derriere.
:D
For future reference if you get bit/stung by anything (well maybe not a shark) place raw onion on it. The juice neutralizes the toxins in the bite immmediately. Wish I had remembered that on the first day but after a few recurring episodes, I used it and think I have exorcised most of the toxins from my system. Evil truly evil... I thought I was going to die from that bite... others have. I put lavender, tea tree oil and tea on it to keep it from getting infected and to get it to heal fast. Also ate lots of turmeric powder, onion soup and MEGAdoses of Vitamin C. Drank a ton of water to rinse it all out of my system.
