Re: GROSS!! SPIDER BITE CAN BE NASTY!! WOW!!!
I don't mind at all, any question from you is welcome as long as it doesn't include my weight or age.
To make a long story short, I enjoy restoring antiques or wooden stuff of any rarity or aesthetic value. Because of this I tend to hoard old wood furniture and stuff to excess. Besides, antique stuff is a real good place to store excess, unwanted cash, if you know what I mean.
Although both bites happened 200 miles apart, the presence of lots of antique wooden plunder was the common factor.
I can't be positive that this is what happened because you don't feel the original bite. Basically you just get sicker and sicker, a lot like the flu, until you go to the Doctor or you rot and die.
This is not to say that piles of wooden treasure are bad, but vacuuming this kind of stuff is a real good idea along with healthy doses of Raid or whatever.
