Spider bite

Pirate :lol: every time more fluid oozes out you have to say..... Arrrghh thar she blows!

Captain Ahab wasn't a pirate - he was a one legged whale hunter.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

In real life Ahab was actually after a large albino tuna BigWave. Whale? You Jeep drivers always exagerrate the size of things.

Eyes lookin good now Goody

The antibiotics making you delirious Goody. ??

Not yet but wish they would :lol: :lol: :lol:

If it is any consolation (which I doubt), the last death from a redback spider bite was 65 years ago - there are lots of insects that kill people more regularly but don't get the same mention in the press. And there have only been 13 deaths from the Sydney funnel-web spider ever recorded, negligible since a vaccine was developed (last death 39 years ago). There has been one blue ring octopus death, and one cone shell death (the last 85 years ago). Over the same period there have been about 300 Australians died from lightning strikes, and around 120 from each of snake bites and bee stings, plus 7 from wasp stings (5 of whom were allergic to them). Disappointing for American watchers of documentaries on Australia's deadly creatures!

But there is something creepier about spiders....

If you do use a insect bomb. Read the instructions ! Turn of all electrical appliences. Even maybe switch off at switch board. One spark and caboom !

Thank you for the heads up on that Wishfull

I am glad that none of the other things bit me then ha

What ever kind of spider this was has sure mest my eye up big time

It's still running fluid from it ...so I am hoping it is draining it self



Goody

Looks like ya been causing trouble down the local Goody. . Does look a little better though, hope it doesnt take too long to get better.

Myth busters shot that down, I usually set 11 off in the house and switch nothing off. The next day I mix up a spider ant spray in the quad bike and spray all around the house and sheds. If they get out of the house they cope it the next day outside. Keeps the mossies down too, do all the dark places.

Very nasty Goody.
Hope you have a better nights sleep tonight and its on the improve tomorrow.
If not Id be getting back in touch with the doctor.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Geez Goody, looks nasty. And you didnt even get revenge with a thong. Look after yourself :flowers:

Shit mate that looks Nasty. Better keep an eye on that. sorry couldnt help myself. Hope it settles down soon & a full recovery. Take care. :flowers:

Yes I am keeping a eye on my eye

just a warning to those who use bug bombs... DO NOT put them in ceilings. House roofs dont vent well and people have caused fires after turning power back on. Bug bombs contain hydrocarbons... thats right, you run your car on hydrocarbons! The best way to keep spiders ect at bay is to do a one of spray in ceiling then followup with bi yearly sprays around the house. You need to stop them entering rather than kill them once they've entered :Y:

Where I live we have an enormous amount of bugs.. spiders, snakes (browns and blacks) and all sorts of creepy crawlies. We spray around the house every 2~3 years using a residual pesticide called Surround, you must be licensed to use this stuff, its nasty, its absorbed via the skin pores. We spray right around the house where the paving meets the brickwork, and also around the base of verandah columns, basically everywhere crawlies can climb to get onto/into the house. The next day each time we spray all sorts of bugs lay dead, this continues for a few days and will last a couple years.

White tails in the house... usually when things are left laying on the floor, so dont leave things like clothes, paper ect laying about.

Take the time to look around the house and block off any holes, cracks ect that may allow things to enter.

Also eucaliptus is a great anti itching, anti stinging treatment.

Get a cat... I cant believe I said that, I hate them for what they do to the Aussie wildlife, but they do have their places. A good cat will keep mice at bay (thus limit snakes too) and will like most things play with spiders and kill them in the process.

Hope you get well soon fella, you sure the Mrs didn't give ya one while you slept, sure looks like she did

Starting to improve

That looks heaps better Goody erfect: a good reason for a celebratory beer at the end of the day I reckon :beer: :beer:
