That may be true but . . .

black widow antivenin is produced through horse serum which can cause an allergic reaction in some people and . . .

treatment with black widow antivenin can make one sensitive to rattlesnake antivenin.

I didn't find anything about it being a once in a lifetime treatment.

The fact that my Ken was bitten 13 times by those things and almost died - FOE! He lost over 100 lbs in 2 months from those evil horrid disgusting creatures.

Thanks to you bunch of nuts, I now feel like I have tiny little spiders running all over me.

shivers and gags

I dislike spiders.
Especially venomous ones.

I'll probably sleep with the lights on tonight.

UGH! THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!

I think they are absolutely lovely!!!

One of my favorites to look at, in fact.

I am always glad to see a few and get a chance to take a few pics. The kids know to be safe, know where they hide and know they can be deadly. If we feel it is in an area that makes it a threat we relocate them, otherwise they get to stay put. I think it is a great time for this thread to re-surface. It is that time of year again.

I used to kill the black widows I found around here, until I read they would prey on scorpions. We have Bark Scorpions, which are more dangerous than black widows. The main reason we got into chickens, was to cut down on the bug population around here. Turns out that now we no longer have any black widows left. The chickens ate them all. We'll have to see if they took care of the scorpions as well, once the weather warms up.
