Re: Does anyone know anything about Black Widows
Yes, I have heard about the honey bees. Sad too that this has been going on for several years. :(
We NEED honey bees (and not just for yummy honey for my tea :D).
My husband HATES bees of any and all kinds. He swears up and down that they are all out to get him. LOL
It's kind of funny because he's the one who isn't weirded out by anything "buggy" but if a bee gets in the house, he goes running and I have to chase it back outside.
@Argentra
If it was a recluse bite that did that little amount of "damage", it was likely a dry bite.
There is a huge difference between the potency and chemical composition of bee stings and true spider bites, a spider bite generally being a lot worse than a bee or wasp sting if venom is injected.
Re: Does anyone know anything about Black Widows
hmm... good point. I've seen pictures and heard plenty of stories about what real recluse bites look like from working at the zoo. Bleah, they're not pretty.
Re: Does anyone know anything about Black Widows
No, they're not! :O
I lived the majority of my life in Southern New Mexico so spiders, tarantulas, scorpions, snakes and just about anything that can sting or bite and inject venom is old hat for me.
I've been *very* fortunate (knocks on wood) to NOT have been bitten by a widow or recluse.
The bite may have been by a baby spider also.... ya never know. :D
