Hello all, I have not posted in a few days because I was bit by a black widow on my lip this week. That really sucked. My whole face swole up, and I was sick, and my muscles cramped up bad. Recommendation, don't get bit. And for those who say you might not feel the bite, bullsh*t. It was like being stabbed in the lip.

How the heck did it get on your lip and you didn't know it?

 

were you sticking your head somewhere where it shouldn't have been?? how the heck did you get stung on the lip???? lucky you didn't go into shock....

 

I walked into the web, and as I was wiping the web off my face, that is when I felt the sting. I had to squeeze the venom out of my lip for about 10 minutes, but I still got sick, and had all of the related side effects.

Black widows don't make convetional webs, usually hang out underneath stuff and make small funnel web thingys... you sure it wasn't a brown recluse?

 

It wasn't really a full web, it was more like one string. Now that I think about it, the feeling that I felt could have been the spider instead of the web. Who knows. But it was definatly a Black Widow, because I saw it jump off and run.

For the record I was moving some old store shelving in the back of my new store that had been there for a year or so. I should have my Broaster's Chicken up and running by early September at the latest. So if I can't go to all of the meets, it will be because I wake up at 4:50a.m. and go to work until 3:30, then I go straight to my store until about 9:00 p.m.

Yikes. Good to hear you're okay though.
