I know this guy who was bitten by a spider on the stomach. He went to the doctor and the company doctor told him it was probably just an allergy. The place where he was bitten looks awful and now it is spreading to his other side.

If I were you I would have it checked out by a doctor and see what he recommends as far as treatment being required or not. Take care. Thanks for your response

I haven’t either, but you know the strange thing about it is, that sometimes I have been walking along our fence checking that no Coyotes have been digging trying to get in, when before I know it I run into this big Spider web with a big Ugly spider right in the middle. These ugly spiders sometimes hit me right in my face, neck, arms, You name it and none of them have bitten me. There must be something about me that they don’t like or something! Thanks for your response

I don't like spiders - the are everywhere in Florida
Yes I have, most of my family has been bitten too, Thank God it was never serious. It just gets swollen and it hurts really bad. I live in Florida and they are everywhere.

One of my sons has been the only one bitten by a spider, but it was not serious, thank God. The spot where he got bitten just got red for a while and then it was gone. Thanks for your response

I’m glad you were able go get over the incident with a only scar. As far as this guy, I’m not so sure what the outcome is going to be. Thanks for your response

My daughter was bitten by one on her foot once, and it turned all black and lumpy and ugly... we had to go to the ER at the hospital and she get a shot... it was pretty bad. We don't know what kind bit her, but the doc said it was probably a brown recluse.

His side looks awful. He said it hurt quite a bit and now it’s spreading to his other side. Thanks for your response

You should thank your lucky stars that you have never been bitten. I do the same because I don’t know what it feels like, either. Thanks for your response

I have before. Usually, the bites are harmless. But, if you're allergic, it could be serious. I would recommend him getting a second opinion from his own doctor.

They don’t know what kind it was, but they told him to get a second opinion, too. Thanks for your response
