My Jill had an argument with a spider and it bit her! That's very unusual with spiders. A big red mark on her arm , went to nurse practitioner who has proscribed a medication. We don't have the very impressive spiders that the Aussies do . This is the first spider bite I've heard of here. We do have one called a Katipo which is poisonous but they are rare and usually only found near beaches and lots of 'slash', (remains of timber felling.)

Sorry to hear your wife got bitten by a spider,Ciderman.

My sister got bitten by a spider a few years ago and the bite turned nasty on her leg.She has got a scar left from it,
Hope your wife feels better soon.

How dreadful. I hope all goes well. cheers.

Seems to be subsiding now so alls well.
