The natural consequences of having a messy room. I've told them piles of clothes attract spiders. We get brown recluses so they don't really keep it too messy.

@midnightrose are you sure they are brown recluses? they really exist in a very narrow range, although that range may have spread from global climate change.

@samueltyler2 Yes we get them in this region, mostly in the basement but they can be found in other places sometimes too.

@midnightrose they do produce a really awful injury.

@samueltyler2 Yeah. My FIL got bit by one once and has a nice little chunk gone from it.

@midnightrose how awful. How is your health these days? You can PM me instead of sharing here.
@samueltyler2 In ‘69 ( the year- not position) I learned of the Brown recluse aka “Fiddle back spider”. New Mexico.

@samueltyler2 I missed the spiders but got a bite from a fire ant while in Texas. Ruined my day’.

@soar2newhighs that happened to me one time in Texas once as well, in AZ i was injured by a cactus which throws its spines at you, that was a terrible experience
