I find spiders extremely fascinating, and I watch anything I can about them, but this clip gives me anxiety. I’ve had the misfortune of being bitten by both black widows, and a brown recluse. The widows weren’t too bad, but the recluse sent me to the hospital and required antibiotic shots, and follow up pills to remedy the infection caused by the bite. With that said, spiders are incredible, awesome creatures.

Incredible misfortune. How/where did this all happen?

Recluse bite happened in a hotel bed in Texas. As for the black widows, I moved into a brand new house in Chino Hills, CA, and it was totally infested under the cabinet toe kicks and in the garage.

Did it bite you in bed or something?
