CyberSax,
I checked that site.
It sounds like that Hobo Spider is what must have bit me.(I live in Utah)
It wasn't as dreadful as they make it seem. The skin just kept blistering and peeling, and was itchy, but it wasn't that concerning to me at the time. I just used some cortizone, and it slowly healed.
I've had bee stings that were more bothersome.

PurpleHayes I had the exact same thing happen to me once. Was sitting on a blanket by a creek in PA, and my girlfriend saw this big spider. I brused it off the blanket with my hand and when I did it "popped" and all these babies came out and started running all over thee place.

FREAKED us out!!!

spiders seem alien to me
really bad creatures,I hate them
they look evil
I kill them or take them to a person I dont like and let them go at their yard
use to do that with mice,use the non lethal traps then drive them to this guys property and release them

copperhead,rattler,water moccasin
black widow(right not likely to take out anyone unless they are already sick),brown recluse extremly dangerous depending where you get bitten(causes tissue to necrolize or something die off)(hope never to find one on my manhood)
what about hela monsters or gila whichever we have here(lizards)
plus scorpians

<<AZ has a few varieties of poisonous scorpions and lizards.>>

I could be mistaken, but none are lethal? The 3 snakes and 2 spiders I mentioned can kill (some require non-adults and/or lots of time). I believe the Gila Monsters bite is lethal but I didn't think it was native to AZ.

 

[HungChow]

yeah one of those lizards is lethal
