Ever been Bit by a Black Widow ? Got bit 5 days ago ...

[St. Phatty]

...waiting for the supporting evidence

It's not my job to convince, Username Amanda 88, of anything.

It is comforting knowing that after you were bit by a black widow spider, in the neck, with major neck, face and head swelling and tissue damage, have not felt well, stupidly didn't go to a doctor, have an excuse why not to do anything anybody has suggested, but yet you are out driving around in your car not worrying about any of the healthy, innocent drivers you could kill or injure because you are perhaps the dumbest guy on earth.

You are foolish not to get yourself checked out by a doctor and are an idiot for driving around in your car.

Stay inside until you are better or die and stay the fuck out of your car. WTF is the matter with you?

When people practiced frontier medicine they didn't have cars. So if you want to practice frontier medicine go all the way. NO CAR!

...I think you said it the best, as most stoners if too poor to pay for a doc, would just stay in and stoner up! ....as most 'boy scouts' would see an inflammation of the neck to be a serious affair, lack of a pic, ...supporting evidence? can only assume it didn't happen?...for as the saying goes ...pic or it didn't happen,

now where have I heard that before..?

The ability to foresee hazards and avoid them is probably not something a person can do when just the day before, passed out with a pot of water boiling on the stove long enough to evaporate the water within it causing the carrots that were also in it too burn.

Besides who puts carrots in their coffee water? Besides this guy of course.

Thanks GS.


For the few who are going on the attack -


I thought this website tries to make sure that users are adults before joining ?

Have fun with the skewed & false version of this event you are building in your mind.

I remember Seth Brundle.

If my ear falls off, maybe I'll start my own "Seth Brundle Memorial Body Parts Cabinet" - that was one of Jeff Goldblum's jokes, as the actor who played The Fly.


More importantly, Bombadil stopped by !!!

When Bombadil speaks, people listen ... even if their ear is swollen 1/2 inch thick.

That was the direction the allergic reaction was moving towards, rightwards across the face.

I had been wondering - will it make it to the ear, or not ?


Got the answer Thursday morning. That last time the allergic reaction was "All in one place" was Day 2 (2 inch diameter swelling on my left cheek).

Anyway, Day 8, it's mostly in the right ear. If I didn't know what it was, I'd be quite alarmed.


But, I skipped a day.

The conclusion Day 8 was that my temperature was off again. It seemed premature to say the swelling was 'down' (as we agreed Day 7), given the ear being SOOO red and swollen.

Anyway, sometimes it's hard to say if I have a temperature - or maybe the house is just an oven and I need to get some ventilation.

I went to open the rear door and ... a skunk went running by, right to left, its tail raised in firing position, but not at me. Probably interrupted them making Skunk love. Will try again after sun-rise.


Got another nature shot. My neighbor says these are raccoons -

Anyway, the general trend since day 6 has been, temperature subsiding. Too early to make the call today.


ANYWAY - BACK TO WORK !

Yesterday I went to 2 different fabric shops. I made 2 of, 3 foot x 6 foot, shade cloth.

Fabric wired to aviary wire. It's VERY difficult to get everything flat, to get the fabric with zero wrinkles. It keeps catching on the edges of the aviary wire.

It is a little wierd wiring cloth from the lingerie section to my deer shields (to make the shade cloth pieces) but, whatever works.



Welcome Bombadil

and the other ICMag members who are trying to be helpful (or funny - I'm a big fan of The Fly movie series.)
