Nice one, Sky.
All spiders have venom, it's just a question of potency.

I was bitten by something about a month ago that left 2 pin pricks and it swelled up really bad and was very sore and made me feel a bit woozy!! maybe it was one of them!!!

Shall I sell my story to the papers?!! It was horrible, I had a big bite on my forearm and then another on the back of my upper arm and I never knew what it was.

I noticed it at work, I scratched my arm and realised there was a bite and then when I got home I found the other one further up. It was really weird because if it was a bee/wasp I think I would've noticed so maybe it happened in my sleep but also it could have been something in the sleeve of my coat? very strange.

SKY news! Pah as bad as the rest of Murdochs rubbish.

Spiders have always scared me. After reading this, I am absolutely terrified. Spiders are eeeevil!

Don't worry Yogi.. these have been around ages... and they aren't aggressive (i.e. they would rather run away from you, than confront you).

I'm still more worried about the dirty great house spiders than come marching through the lounge on an evening!

I get my middle son to get rid of those spiders. Unlike his mother, he is brave.

Spiders are alright, it's Snakes that are evil .

My brave son (the other two aren`t too keen on spiders) just gets a bit of kitchen roll in his hand and grabs the giant ones. Heaven help me when he leaves home. Hubby will need to improve his spider-removal skills.

I'm hoping Scotland is too cold for it.

I'm not afraid of spiders as always thought they couldn't hurt you, might have to have a rethink now

This is one of these threads I wish I hadn't read

I'm not frightened of spiders as such but the thought of one actually being able to kill you is terrifying.

Why is it called the false widow spider? Is it fiddling housing benefit or summat?
