Darla and the spider day 2
Still not sure what kind of spider it was. Without my glasses I couldn’t see it well enough to tell. And one reason I may be having no problems is I think it was on the cable and when I felt the sting I jerked my hand back before it got me good.
I want to say thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers! And all the remedies! But looking around I did find that reaction can vary and that there is more than one type of recluse spider around. So no telling which is responsible for the lack of problems I am having. Wrong spider, wrong type, didn’t sting me very much, just doesn’t affect me. All of the above?
Laurell is almost postive that it was a recluse. As I said, no one at the hospital seemed willing to look once they found out it was alive in there. The mark still looks more like a mosquito bite today and just a wee bit itchy. But it seems I am fortunately, no worse for wear. But given how hard this month has been, I am really looking forward to July. (Need a run down? My computer blew up and I am still reloading software, I got about 20 chigger bites at the wolf howl, had a wisdom tooth pulled and then the spider bit me). All of which is putting me behind again. No more missed work for me darn it!
Hopefully, the spider it is enjoying its new home outdoors and away from me. With any luck, that will be my last negative spider encounter and things will go smoother from here on out. So is it July yet?
