My friend from school got bit on the face by a brown recluse. Thankfully for him he went to the doctors as soon as he woke up (it bit him while he was asleep), and they only had to cut a small chunk out (like the amount to remove a wart)... Those are some nasty things.

A good friend of mine has another friend station in Iraq, she told me while her friend was sleeping in his tent, one of these damn things like Floorfiller said bit his lip, and they had to cut like the bottom part of his f'n lip off!




But yeah, I hate f'n spiders and scorpions

Hell, I have camel spiders outside of the building I'm in right now.

Anyone want me to go catch one and brand a TA logo on it and post a picture?

Posted by nialsjd on Jul-15-2004 23:17:

from what i've read about camel spiders, they aren't very toxic, however they are one aggressive insect. Its big, and fast as fuck.
plus, they have an instinct to start feeding on the face as fast as possible, regardless if your dead or not

Not fake. The Brown Recluse has been found in Eastern Washington. Its venom is a destructive acid.

Edit: I'm afraid of Copperheads. Been within feet of one on two occasions. Those are NASTY sons-a-bitches.

They're not toxic and all, and the extent of their aggression towards humans is that they'll run towards you to use your shadow as shade.

The brown recluse is legitimately badass, however.

How big are those brown recluses, comparable to the pictures above?


Posted by nic01445 on Jul-16-2004 00:06:

Wow do I feel dense, I didn't even notice that was a quarter underneath.

Typical brown recluse bite is quarter sized with a white halo in the middle. I'm in an environment with lots of folks who get bitten. Will knock you down a week or two with medications. Brown recluses are actually more common and worse than Black Widows.

im in the Army and at Ft. Benning (SW Georgia, 90 min SW of Atlanta)they are pretty bad,.. a guy in a class before me got bit on the dick,... i didnt hear what happened but according to those pictures,.. i hate to know

i saw 2 people at the hospital with bites,.. ones knee was so big she couldnt walk and the other dude had his hand swollen so large it looked like it got hit with radiation....

YAY FOR BROWN RECLUSES!!!


Posted by speedracer_mec on Jul-16-2004 05:18:

yay?

They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come
out at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long. If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you.

PS. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top. These are
Spiders found daily in IRAQ by troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these in your tent!!

You guys are all the biggest pussies.

Come to australia where we have most of the deadliest snakes and spiders in the world, then see how much your bitching about a recluse spider...

Their size is what makes them such nasty little bastards. Most people don't even see them coming, nor do they assume that they are capable of such terrible bites.

I killed a recluse in our storage shed about four years ago. They're really not all that hard to crush. A black widow, on the other hand, has a ridiculously hard exoskeleton. (Three strikes with a shoe to kill one that I found some years ago.)

jesus, more pics, less talk. assholes.

haha jace you shit stirrer, haven't you read snopes?

According to most spider experts, these claims are all false. Camel spiders (so named because, like camels, they can be found in sandy desert regions) grow to be moderately large (about a 5" leg span), but nowhere near as large as dinner plates; they can move very quickly in comparison to other arthropods (a top speed of maybe 10 MPH), but nothing close 25 MPH; they make no noise; and they capture prey without the use of either venom or anesthetic. Camel spiders rely on speed, stealth, and the (non-venomous) bite of powerful jaws to feed on small prey such as other arthropods (e.g., scorpions, crickets, pillbugs), lizards, and possibly mice or birds. They use only three pairs of legs in running; the frontmost pair (called pedipalpa) is held aloft and used in a similar manner to the antennae of insects. Camel spiders shun the sun and generally hide during the day, coming out at night to do their hunting.
