I'm sure I was bitten on the neck by a spider yesterday. Felt it the first time and brushed it off but didn't get it off the second time I actually got it and it was on the ground looking a bit worse for wear. Didn't think much of it until about 3am when I woke up feeling like I was going to throw up. Had a shocker of a head ache, naesea and crook guts. Went to work this morning with my body feeling like jelly and really struggling to keep going. About 1 pm started to feel better. Only thing is my neck is itching like hell.

Anyone else got any experiances with this?

I got bitten on the elbow about 3 months ago. looked like 3 big pussy zits in a triangle and was rock hard. squeezed the bejesus out of it for nothing and my whole arm ached for a week.

Able to identify the type of spider at all? None of the more well known baddies?

Few months back picked up a few empty grass bags I left under spare wheel of trailer. I saw a spider on one (looked like a redback) so i shook the bag but actually flicked the bag. The spider was not there anymore so proceeded to fold it until I felt something in my ear! No time to think but I was sure what it was - just stuck my little finger in there and squished it. Couldnt make out what it was but told the wife to keep the phone handy!!

Dont worry Glenno it just your spider senses tingling!

Sounds like the venom was working its way through your body with what you went through on a positive note if your reading this you'll probably be ok.

Be careful its a jungle out there.
