[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 381764, member: 414"] I was at Moliagul about 8 - 10 days ago and around 3 days after i noticed a mosquito like swelling which kept getting bigger over the following days. by around day 4 - 5 it started oozing white pus and blood ( around 0.2 cc of the stuff ) It seems to be improving and is not yet nectrotic but i am keeping an eye on it in case it does which will require a trip to the local GP or horsepiddle . Does anyone have ideas on what kind of spider it could have been ? i have eliminated funnelwebs and redbacks becuase the symptoms are totally different. white tail or mouse spiders might cause similar symptoms ? I only noticed Orb spiders there and heaps of those tiny little colourful spiders that look similar to the Peacock Sapphire spider discovered in W.A last year . I searched the Australian Spider bite symptoms website which is a pathetic joke because they claim no australian spiders can cause necrotic infection. any ideas ? [/QUOTE]
