We have a spider here called the "hobo spider" when you're bitten , it's venom has the same effect as your white tailed spider, I know because one bit me 3 times on my lower leg, it was very painful, had to wear a pressure cast forever, and left one hell of a scar....and, yes, I hate spiders !
hahaha the hobo spider, what a name :p im gunna go look it up now ;P
Go to the website called HoboSpider.com , it will show you everything!
i just looked then and that is horrifying haha. glad you didnt need amputation
I'm glad too! The worst thing is that the little bugger bit me 3 time....and it was in my bed! Geez, of all places.....
Ya, they're ugly the doctor took a picture of my bites and uses them for her seminars at the University she teaches at....by the way, I'm in canada...but your spiders are way creepier
