Have you ever been bit by a black widow?


Question:
i have to clean out my shed and its black widow heaven in there. if i get bit, is it a medical emergency or can i just go to a walk-in-clinic? i've dealt with these spiders before and i've never been bit but accidents happen.

Answers:
its a BIG medical thing, i was bitten by a baby one and sent to the doctor! first off i would get a poisen sprayer at any local market and a cloth mask, go to the shed and spray like crazy! let it sit a day or two wich will kill some, wear long, baggy pants and a sweater (it will be hot, but worth it!) and get a cell phone and dial "9,1" just to be safe!

hopefully they'll leave you alone! and remember, you WONT get spider powers if one bites you =)
If you get bit you need to call 911 right away it is a BIG medical emergency. Those things can kill you in a matter of minutes.
you should go to the docs fast if that happends
ooh no theres no black widows in scotland http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/ill_injure... have a look at it its good and theres all sorts of illnesses in there
Yeah, I was bit. At first it looked like a mosquito bite. Just a little dot that got puffy around. About an hour later, the kid who I was working with was like, "What's that thing on your leg?" I looked down and I had this huge blister thing traveling down my leg about 8 inches. I went home, my Uncle said it looks like something is trying to make its way into my blood stream. I went to the doctor that night. He cut it open to get out the venom and said that it wasn't deep enough to get into my blood stream but I was lucky. He identified it as a black widow bite. I have them all around my house too. Be careful.
