Spiders

[TDub]

The downside of living in the country.....in the last week I've found and killed 13 black widows. None in the house....but down at the shop, in the garage, at the barn, under the kids treehouse....damn things I hate those motherfuckers.

haven't even opened up the well yet....usually there's a community of them down there too

We had a bunch in our garage one year.

This is why I don't get along with nature.
Indoors was invented for a reason.

indoors is a great break and some nice relief. But, the outdoors breathes life into the soul.

And then a spider comes along and eats you

Few spiders are as dangerous as you fear. But then you sleep on a recluse. And the venom makes you wish you had listened to your friends.

haha I mean I guess that's a risk. Im pretty sure spiders don't respect Wall boundaries though....they could be indoors too.

The good news is they're pretty human averse. Black widows in particular are pretty calm, non aggressive spiders that won't seek you out. They bite defensively.

I still hate the motherfuckers though and will kill anyone I find.

I got bit by a brownie in Kansas about 33 years ago. I've still got the scar where the flesh never came back all the way. It bit me after I put on a baseball glove from my grandparents garage. Wrist swelled up very very quickly and looked like a bullseye with super red all around and a black center. The black was where the poison/venom was killing the flesh.

good times.

Props for trying to suck the venom out:

PSA: you can’t suck an appreciable amount of venom out of a bite, no matter what Hollywood says
