I've gotten 14 confirmed Latrodectus bites over the years with a handfull of questionable bites but I'm of the persuasion that I got 3 full envenomations last night while I slept. I'm in excrutiating amounts of pain right now and was just released from the hospital with "muscle spasms" take in mind on the average person's 1-10 pain scale a 10 for them is about a 3-4 for me and I've just hit my 10. the barbituates they gave me are kicking in but the pain is not subsiding. I woke up praying for death and still went to work all day with my day starting at 4am when I wake. if the pain gets worse tomorrow then I have to go back to the er and push the issue for them to acknowledge the bites around my abdomen. I'm delerious so I'm out for the night. this contract is allegedly going to end saturday at this construction sit but I bet it never ends so I'll be a rare site for longer. noches, nacht, nuit, night - cheers

If I knew what I was coming back to...I may very well have stayed gone! We post FAQs because they are Frequently Asked Questions and there are more pressing matters. It was great a year and a half ago when we were progressing but now, the honeymoon is over and it's grown stagnant. I'm out of here, this place has become a breeding ground for idiots with no controls set. I'll be where the science and hobby is progressing not regressing.
