The thread Dames never wants to experience

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Well it turns out that the spiders decided to use my room for heat when the temperature went down. I'd never had this problem before so I never even thought to look for them when the temp dropped. Anyways I woke up with countless spider bites and have killed 4 spiders thus far. Mostly the translucent white ones and then one of those little black ones.

 

Question I have is what the hell can I do to stop the itching madness. I probably have around 20 bites easy as I stopped counting at 10 and saw a good deal more. I tried soaking in hot water with baking soda and that didn't help, tried using this lotion shit for dry and itchy skin...that didn't help. Besides shaving the flesh from body or cutting off the limbs that the bites are on what can I do to stop the itching? Its driving me fucking crazy

[Nighthawk 0]

That happened to me once. I couldn't do anything about it, so... I guess I can't help you. Sorry.

Calamin(sp) lotion? Like what you get for Chicken Pox.

[Guest stardust]

Possibly Benadryl lotion. Just make sure they don't swell up and get infected, otherwise you could end up in the hospital and lose limbs after all.

[Guest Flyboy]

Try taking a bath in oatmeal soap.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

well the parents went down to the pharmacy while at Radio Shack and the pharmacist gave these Loratadine pills and hydrocortisone plus lotion. Still, I'm up for more suggestions

Hobo Spider bite.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

See I don't tend to ignore injuries and let them get that far. These are your normal run of the mill spiders, its just I got so many damned bites

[Sandman9000 0]

Fire and lots of it.

[Guest Fook]

Oh that's your solution to everything!

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

Nah, he occasionally uses "bash a lighttube over 'em."

 

I'd say call an exterminator.

Holy fucking Christ.

 

The title of this thread is pretty spot on.

 

I think I'd about fucking die if I ever saw spiders chomping on me.

I hate spiders, but I deal with them because we have so many damn roaches. When the roach population is up, the spider population soars. One night, at around nine or so, I saw FIVE spiders in the kitchen, under the diswasher and stove, waiting to come out for some feeding. Two of them were mating. I've seen some nice juicy ones, but nothing like a Black Widow or anything. They are creepy nonetheless, as I've had them come down in the shower on me before. I also saw one sitting around the inside of the toilet and pissed on it. I'm sure it was NOT expecting that. I also have killed a fat one with Clorox. I've never been bitten by one, despite their abundance around here.

I have spiders living either in or around my computer, it's probably only a matter of time before they migrate over to my bed and start chewing on me in my sleep. I really should do something about them.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Occassionally, I'll adopt a spider, and hand-feed it a large grasshopper every day. I've had them crawl all over my hand before, but they've never bitten me. I've also had a tarantula placed on my face. Another guy I know had a pet tarantula crawl up his arm, only to dig its huge hairy fangs into his shoulder, which turned a bright vermillion and bled like a hog, by all accounts. I also smoked a spider one time.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

I also smoked a spider one time.

 

 

eh?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

What's not to understand? I lit, burned, and inhaled the resulting spider-flavored vapor. It fit in the pipe too well to not do it. One of those once in a lifetime happenings.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

Neat. I thought maybe it was one of those things you would file alongside licking frogs as something you just randomly find out has a cool effect on a human's consciousness.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

No, the psychoactive results were negligible. The half of a bowl of weed that was still left proved far more tasty and effective, although the spider was a brave venture, and noble experiment.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

And I applaud you for helping to advance the science of smoking, good sir.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Well the stuff the pharmacist gave seems to be working. My father took out the poisons and sprayed around the outside of the house. I'll just do a major cleaning to make sure this doesn't happen again (I haven't dusted in my life, that might explain some of it)

[Guest Miss Indy Queen]

I remember getting bit by a spider and the next day it hurt like a bitch. I had a huge mark on my leg and my leg swelled up. I had to go to the doctors because it had puss in it and he had to cut it and squeeze it out. Talk about hurting like hell!! They gave me some cream to stop the itching and it seemed to work. I still have the mark on my leg to this day and even told Dames the story who cringed when I told him all about it!

Uh oh....I guess you won't like the Christmas present I'm sending you Dames.

[Dr. Tom 0]

Dames, you'll be happy to know that the oft-emailed fact of people swallowing eight spiders per year in their sleep is a myth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The real figure is much, much higher.

 

Kidding. The whole thing's a myth invented to show how useless some internet "facts" really are.

 

Sleep tight!

A copy of Arachnaphobia on DVD?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

another annoying thing to come about this is the bites on my hands caused the middle finger, and ring finger on both hands to swell...thus trying to bend them causes alot of pressure on the knuckles and makes it hurt like hell.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Epsom Salt. Soak those digits.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Epsom Salt. Soak those digits.

Thanks, I've been trying to remember the name of that salt since it worked wonders previously when my feet broke out in major blisters from breaking in new steel-toed boots

[King Cucaracha 0]

Argh...this thread has made me really parranoid now.

 

Like Dames, a spider biting me would probably then lead to a heart or panic attack of some sort.

Don't worry Plunderin. Maybe if your lucky you got special powers after your radioactive spider bite
