Well, I gave my new found pet some water, now I'm just trying to figure out how to feed him without getting myself bit.

The bites arent usually fatal like most believe. 1 out of 5000 is a fatality, its only a little lower number for brown recluses. But a bite from a Black Widow, and you got your self in a world of PAIN. Horrible Swelling, Intense Pain, IMMENSE PAIN from all that I've read, watched and heard. Most people are hospitalized for a few days, but they live.

The Brown Recluse has a nastier affect. Its "Venom" Eats away your flesh, disolves it, and will continue to do it if its not taken care of. And it will cause death. Yummy.

There nothing more I hate than Spiders and Roachs. Either one will usually have me running and screaming like a little girl, but my fear of spiders has been slowly dwindling over the last few years.
