ahhhh spiders. I wanted to share a bit of info with you all about the black widow. I am an Animal Planet freak...and love watching Venom ER. They talked about black widow bites. You WILL get sick from it but it WON'T kill you. It's teeth or whatever it injects it's venom w/ is not long enough to penetrate your skin far enough to inject a large amount...now aren't you just feeling much better now?




They ARE here in Indiana b/c my son's scout troupe went to Camp Maumee and one of the boys had one in their cot! I hate spiders as well....oh oh I forgot to mention One of the scout boys told me that daddy long legs are NOT true spiders b/c TWO of their legs aren't really "legs" they are feelers for food...*shrug shoulders*...interesting eh?
