spatdrastik Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Where the hell do you live? West Texas That's a bad bug...you don't want a big one in your house. On the other hand if you do have a big one in your house you probably don't have many roaches...or mice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstickbonzo Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 My one friend who has been an Army doc since 2003 spent a year and a half in Germany, receiving all of our wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan. He said hands down, the most grotesque wounds were spider bites by the camel spider. If bitten and not treated immediately, it causes tissue to become infected, decay and eventually in need of amputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 This is one nasty fellow here, not aggressive but if you get bit it will make you sit down for a while and ponder the role pain and confusion play in your life. Meet the Brown Recluse I was going to post a pic of what would happen if you were to get bit but I'll spare those that are squeamish here's a link if your curious http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh249/d...59/bite_90d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
