I have since scrolled back and read the other posts on this topic by M M and others, and I am amazed that such a seemingly neutral topic can raise such powerful reactions.
FACT: we live in Hampshire
FACT: she was bitten
FACT: it was a spider (I have the corpse on my desk right here)
FACT: she reacted very quickly
FACT: she is a tough cookie who is very comfortable with arachnids
FACT: we don't use hallucinogenic drugs
get over it :O) Peace guys |
Hope your wife is ok?
I have been bitten by a spider(as well as snake) I had left a bunch of chives in the greenhouse to dry. I gathered them up ,felt a pain in my finger and out scuttled a spider. Hurt like anything but no bad reaction.
