Thread Name: BS: spider bite!!!
Subject: RE: BS: spider bite!!!
I heard of someone who had a brown recluse bite which actually causes the bone in his finger to be dissolved and needed to be replaced. Spider bites often result in digestive enzyme fluids actually digesting the flesh where the bite is. Sometimes the only treatmet is to cut around the tissue before the juices can spread. I guess spiders do not get heart burn or indigestion ??
i have heard that about "grand daddy long legs" having poisonous venom, but jaws that are not able to pirece human skin.
