Wow. That sucks. Nasty little buggers. I've known three people bitten by them. Two were in bed and the third was in a cardboard box. Was your hand as bad as the pictures skychimp posted?Originally posted by Feathered_IV:
I got bitten by a fiddleback spider when I was a kid. The thing was making a house inside the handle bar of my bike. My hand swelled until it looked like a blown up surgical glove.
*HINT* Always tape up the little hole at the end of your handle bars![]()

Try and educate idiots like these a bit better and maybe Yanks wouldnt get bashed so much.
Aussies were fighting all over the world, and were one of the key elements in the first big Western Allies win over the Germans, El Alamein.
