I have two or three bites...I think one happened Sunday night and another last night...maybe a third.
I've had trouble sometimes with spiders in the house. They're usually smallish grey spiders. They aren't furry or weirdly-proportioned. They're sort of stereotypically spider-shaped spiders, but small and grey. Does anyone know what kind of spider it is? I'm calling Orkin.
Remember: With great power comes great responsibility. I'm just sayin'.

Do you know what a black widow or a brown recluse look like? They don't look like what you've described, as far as I can tell, but those are the only two really poisonous spiders I know of in the US, so chances are what you have aren't life threatening. (Unless you have some rare allergy, that is.)
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
See, I haven't seen any spiders like those around Karl. Just the grey ones, or maybe little green ones. I think this one bit me in my sleep; otherwise I'm sure I'd remember a spider crawling on my hands. The one on my thumb looks infected...it swelled up yesterday and turned kinda green, and I popped it and started putting Neosporin on it often. It's still kinda puffy and red and raised. The one on my wrist could almost pass for a small paper cut, except if you look close you can see two bitey-things.
The picture of the spiderlings in that first link will give me nightmares for years to come. Thanks for that Gecko.
I got three spiderbites (someone at work told me they always bite in threes, or some such, which sounds silly), in my face in November. They persisted for a month (I figured they would just go away) until eventually I popped them, and little things, which resembled small pebbles popped out of my face where the bites were. I put neosporin on them and cleaned them every day, and after a month they were reduced to three red spots on my face, and around January or Feburary they disappeared entirely.
Wasn't fun.

Oh Lord, that is one creepy-looking creature. *shudder*
I think they were the same kind of spider that we used to see in Tampa...they would be outside on the walls of the elementary school. I don't know if any Florida Hatrackers have seen spiders like that...

I've been spider-bitten a couple of times.
If the swelling doesn't go away in a few days,you should definitely go to the doctor for the bites-they'll give you a prescription for an antibiotic that will help.
They could eventually go away on their own, but they could also get infected and turn out to be big problems. Better safe than sorry, right?

I have no idea what it was. But when I pinched the bite, to try and get whatever was in there out, so I could properly clean it, the little thing just popped out, literally you could hear the pop (and I certainly felt it) and it was like a tiny pebble about the size of the bite, which was maybe pimple sized.
Maybe it was an egg laid in my face? Maybe puss or something that congealed together? I have no idea, I didn't save it.

Oh, golly. This is how urban legends start! It was NOT an egg! (In fact, the bites were almost certainly not spider bites at all -- see my previous post.) It was almost certainly a dried accumulation of pus and related tissues.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Oh I was kidding about the egg. Spiders don't usually (that I know of) lay single eggs like that, they have nests with hundreds of eggs at at time. I've seen Charlotte's Web
The pus thing however sounded extremely likely to me. Maybe it wasn't a spider. I don't really know, I just know we have spiders all over the house, so I assumed.

Huh. This reminds me of a story. Last August, my father and I opened the door to the basement at his house. It took a while for my eyes to discern the spider on the wall. Then I noticed another one. Their shape, leg pattern, and color all matched the brown recluse brown recluse.
A quick glance around the walls above the door (and above my head...YIKES!) would have given the common arachnophobic person nightmares for a month. Seriously. Brown recluses clung to the walls around the door and numbered in the dozens.

As you may have seen from the first link, that is what most people assume. I have no idea why, except perpetuation of an untrue meme.
I used to think it was true too, until my kids' pediatrician set me straight. Since then I've done a bit of reading on the subject. Unfortunately, all too many doctors perpetuate the myth instead of quashing it.

Fact: Ah, but spiders are exclusively predators. Essentially all the food a spider consumes in its lifetime is other small living creatures, mainly insects. House spiders may be more conspicuous than household insects, but they could not live there without insects to eat. And if they were not there, there'd be a lot more insects!

I went to Texas a couple times last year to visit family, and one time I got up early and my cousin asked me to go grab us some coffee (hot chocolate for me) at Starbucks, and said I could borrow her car. I said sure, went outside and on the hood of her car were four Brown Recluse spiders. I walked right back in and told her to get her own coffee, at which point she went outside, calmly flicked the spiders off her car, and went off to get coffee.

Rivka, I lived in a house where I routinely got bit by spiders (I saw one do it once, I knew they were spiders.)
They were one of the kind that can bite humans (some don't have the jaws for it) but where the bite is supposed to "completely go away in a couple of hours", as per that link. Unfortunately, I am allergic to the venom. I'd get one bite on the foot and my entire leg would swell up. I missed every field trip my 5th grade year (and a lot more school besides.) It stunk.

I don't know how likely it will be that I can get to Dallas. I'd have to borrow a car from a family member and escape for the entire day, which my family wouldn't be happy about, especially lending me a car.

I could most likely make it to Kingwood on a weekend in late May. I graduate in early May and I don't know what my schedule will be like after that.

Two of the jobs I'm interviewing with start off with an out of town conference/ training thing that I imagine would happen in late May or early June, so I'm hesitant to say I could certainly make it. If I'm able to, I'll come. I'll let you know when I have more information. If I can, a cook out sounds fun.

TStorm, the cans of poison probaby didn't have much impact on your brown recluse population; recluses are very hard to poison. Your best bet, when trying to control a recluse population, is to put down sticky traps, situating them so that they're directly against the walls.

Interesting! My information about their resistance came from various universities' entymology departments a few years ago (wow--actually now that I think about it it was probably 5 years ago) when I was having to deal with a brown recluse infestation, rather than by personal experimentation. If you happen to find out what kind of poison it was at some point let me know. I probably wouldn't use it myself, simply because I'm leery of pesticides and herbicides in general, but I'd love to read about it.

Indeed. Caterpillars that sting? That just creeps me out.
I thought it was funny when we found a black widow in our apartment; Jeff was freaking out. I usually freak out at the sight of a harmless house spider, but I got so used to dealing with black widows growing up (we lived in three houses in a row that had positive infestations in the backyard/garage/shed areas) that I was completely calm. I just trapped it in a jar, slid cardboard under it, got some nice thick leather shoes on, took it outside, cautiously pulled the jar off, and stomped it as it ran. He was freaked out all day, it didn't bother me, whereas a harmless house or wolf spider will send me screaming for hours. Go figure!
