Default Spiders...

No not cars, but bugs! I know the Black Widow is known. Did ya'll Mississippians know the Brown Widow made it to your state? There's evidence that the Black Widows have made it to LA. Just thought I'd mention (if hadn't been done already).

yea it's been in the news that MS has gotten the brown widow but we are told not to worry. in my ditch i still have some left over katrina logs/sticks. i went to pick one up the other day to pile it up and burn and what did i see....???? a big *** black widow. easy to spot with that red hourglass on the back/belly or what ever side was facing me.

The black widow isnt really deadly to adults, children yes but not really adults. I never heard of the Brown widow. The black widow venow is neurotoxic and the brown recluse spider is cytotoxic.

I must be a tough son of a bitch though. I got bit by a Brown Recluse on my calf when I was in junior high and didn't even know it for 3 days until a whelp started forming. Now, I don't even have a scar or anything visible from it. Doctors siad that I wasn't allergic to the toxin.

But they did show me pictures of what might have happened and it was some scarry ****.
