Hi Stile... I thought you'd get a kick(?) outta this... I'm an archeologist and was working in the midwest last month when I got bit by a spider. Now it wasn't just any regular spider... It was a reclusive brown spider, probably one of the deadliest in the world. It's venom is so strong that it can paralyze a fucking horse. It's been known to have killed babies in the past, as well. It paralyzes its victim then mummifies it in webbing and lays eggs inside. Pretty sick.

So I was working on a site with my team and I put my hand under a rock to turn it over when I was bit. It hurt like a motherfucker. I swear it felt like I was shot with a bullet through my hand. My hand got really swollen and I was really dizzy for the next day. I thought that it would start healing so I didn't bother to go to the hospital. It really didn't look THAT bad at first. That's when I learned what kind of spider bit me as I had no fucking idea at first. We caught it and kept it in a box (see photo below) so we could identify it. Over the next week my hand started getting seriously fucked up and I might have to have my thumb amputated. Here are the pictures over the course of a week. I thought you and the people that read your site would like this stuff. It's really sick, but fascinating.
