Spiderman

Just so you know if you don't like pictures of slightly oozing wounds or spiders don't look at the pictures, really.
Chad had the lovely experience of being bitten by what we're pretty sure was a Hobo Spider. I say this because the day after he was bitten his arm became infected. The first prescription of antibiotics didn't work and by day 4 he had to have it drained and get a super antibiotic. The next step would have been IV treatments luckily we didn't have to do that. He's all better now but we've now gone on a rampage against the dozens of hobo spiders in the basment. Bless whoever invented the sticky trap.


Right now the score is Spiders:1 Humans: 14

you warned me, but I looked anyway and now am way creeped out! I don't think I'd be able to sleep for YEARS if I realized I had spiders like that crawling around my house!!!

I am glad Chad is all better now and that you are ahead in the race against the spiders!
