@soar2newhighs probably kills you by looking at you.

@soar2newhighs tarantulas generally have a mild bite about like a bee sting. And probably only if you pushed down on it like you were attacking it.
@cherokeepatti My education on spiders: New Mexico. Beware of the Brown recluse, aka “ The fiddleback spider”. Oh yeah, those damn fire ants too.

@soar2newhighs My daughter got bit by a fiddleback about 20 years ago and I killed one on Sunday, it had gotten on the arm of my recliner next to my elbow, I couldn’t reach down and put the seat back up and somehow I managed to fly up outta that laid out recliner without sitting it up first. I grabbed a newspaper and squashed that spider. It had been right next to my bare arm, one wrong move & I would have gotten bit.
