Found this guy in the dish washer.

Wish I could have got a better pic before my father in law squashed it.

If it wasn't a word before, it is now!
One of those killed my daughter's rabbit, Phillip. (It got into the house and some how bit Phil on the mouth.) I know it was doing what b.w. spiders do. I guess I just have a personal vandetta. (My eight year old little girl had to bury her best friend.) :main_angry:

i have been bitten by a b.w. too.

about 3 years ago i was repainting a house that had alot of rotted siding.

i brushed away some debris from the ground where i needed to paint...

next thing i know i have this sharp stinging feeling on my leg next to my groin.

after a few hours i realized when i went to the bathroom that i had been

bitten by something. I thought nothing of it for a few hours. After that

the venom started to set in and i got delirious, high blood pressure and

had small ceisures due to the bite. i was treated about 14 hours after being

bitten. i stayed in the hospital for 4 days while they watched my progression

from the bite. i now have a seriously knarly scar on my leg.

This things are very dangerous and could lead to death if you mess with

them, as i know.

I use to have alot of those things living around my house outside when i was younger! They are scary:shocked:! I always killed them if they were out in about in the open!

That's a female BTW They aren't scary, meaning they don't track humans as prey or anything. I have found a few crawling on me(amd brown recluse too), but thankfully never been bit.

I am an animal lover, but I killed a few in my day too:main_yes:

It was a Red Trap Door Spider, and that thing was nasty and evil, but kool at the same time! But not that widow! I hate those widows!!! EWww
