Does Bambi know about this ?
My personal physician, an internal medicine specialist who I went to high school with, was hospitalized for sic weeks and nearly died from such a bite.
He hasn’t prescribed it for any of his patients yet.
Zero just hasn’t had a chance to claim credit for it yet.
Still waitiing for the sea level to fall.
Maybe that is what really happened to Chris Matthews
Recluse spiders build irregular webs that frequently include a shelter consisting of disorderly threads. These spiders frequently build their webs in woodpiles and sheds, closets, garages, plenum, cellars and other places that are dry and generally undisturbed. They seem to favor cardboard when dwelling in human residences, possibly because it mimics the rotting tree bark which they inhabit naturally. They also tend to be found in shoes, inside dressers, in bed sheets of infrequently used beds, in stacks of clothes, behind baseboards, behind pictures and near furnaces. The common source of human-recluse contact is during the cleaning of these spaces, when their isolated spaces are suddenly disturbed and the spider feels threatened. Unlike most web weavers, they leave these webs at night to hunt. Males will move around more when hunting with the female spiders tending to remain nearer to their webs.
That’s gay-ish.
Well, at least he was able to do that during the past 20 years.
Wow! What a marvelous act of G-d! Or two acts ... both are marvelous.
Mebbe that Brown Recluse wanted the chair all to himself. No matter what reason, I’m sure he’s thanking Him. And researchers should be looking into what’s in these Brown Recluse’s venom.
Great Mazinga??
The Ozarks in Missouri are a prime area for Brown Recluses. I got bit by one about 8 years ago. I was lucky and it left only a very small scar after my arm swelled up for about a week.
I think the 8 weeks of rehab was only after the spider bite “rebooted” his nervous system. 20 years of muscle atrophy will need rehab to get them working well again.
wonder what kind of spider.
I remember an asian woman at my kids grammar school who would walk to pick up the kids. on the way, she’d gather bees from plants she passed, and collect them in a plastic grocery bag. I asked her one day and she says it helps with her arthritis.
HMM, I’m allergic to bees. Made me nervous being around her with all those bees collected in her plasatic bag.
A bit less “teh ghey” than the other one posted.
Maybe it was a spider that got to Chris Matthews’ leg.
I wonder if anyone has experimented with spider venom
or other venom for nerve “awakening”
