have a friend who nearly lost her foot to a brown recluse.had an uncle who lost part of a finger to a black widow.I leave most spiders alone, being grateful they eat flies, but have killed thousands of black widows over the years, usually by accident, I pick something up and squish a couple of black widows who were lurking there.
In the last century, I had a male relative who was bitten by a black widow spider on the scrotum while sitting on the john in an outhouse. He nearly died. Those boys swelled up to the size of softballs (no pun intended!)!

You only have to worry if you have on Long Johns with a trap door in the rear…

Outhouses are the number one place where black widow bites occur. Mostly men are bitten. I’ll let you guess where.

When I was a toddler, we lived in a house that had two rooms and a path.

Trap door spiders? AW, hell no! You also shouldn’t read about alligators in the sewers while lounging in a tub!

Spiders, YUCK…they only survive if they’re Outside our place but, woe to them if they’re Inside!!! Brown Recluses are one of the worst…

I thought the guide was there so you could identify the spiders you encounter
