    Anytime I think of something spreading in someone's arm I think about Requiem for a Dream and I don't want to think about that movie. If it was a radioactive spider he should definitely be able to shoot webs now. I think they all had naps before turning into Spiderman.

    I was snubbed by the radioactive spider. No webs yet.

    Today, the arm is slightly swollen in the area, west's gone, still a little burn to it. The red spot where I think the bite was, is bigger. Nothing crazy. Initially, my big worry was brown recluse. Seems I'm safe.

    Can a single spider do multiple bites in a row? I was trimming bushes last Thursday in my backyard and got bit on my face and neck. I noticed three distinct areas that swelled up some. I was concerned initially that it could be poisonous and my face/neck would start rotting off and/or ballooning out. But, it turned out okay. I didn't actually see a spider but they were all in the bushes and stuff. Anyway, it sucked because I had a slightly swollen red rash look on my cheek and my neck was even worse. It's better four days later. I was definitely paranoid when it happened and kept checking the mirror to see if it was getting worse. There was some pain and then it turned itchy later on. I kept picking at it a little and shaving would catch on these areas making them bleed. Then, just last night, I got some freaky spider latched on my leg that gave me the creeps and I shook it off in a panic. I wanted to scream like a little girl.

    You should go see a doctor.

    Limb loss is serious business.

    That sounds like it could possibly be a spider bite. But really it all depends upon whether or not a spider actually bit you.

    This is the Australian guide to refer to if you suspect you've been bitten by a spider.

    1. Are you alive?
    If you are alive you have not been bitten by a spider.

    I think if the red area continues to grow larger and larger you could have a serious problem. I'd stop by a clinic and get it checked out if I where you.

    Also, could it have been bees?

    Speaking of spiders, I was working this morning tearing some stuff down at a target when I seen a 2" in diameter brown recluse crawling 1" from where my hand was at. I screamed like a little beeyatch before killing the damn thing. Now any sensation on my body feels like a spider crawling on me.

    In 2001, more than 2,000 brown recluse spiders were removed from a heavily infested home in Kansas, yet the four residents who had lived there for years were never harmed by the spiders, despite many encounters with them.
