Among Friends

[dex]

Today.......a very lovely stormy blustery day.The best day to get some of the beautiful leaves that have fallen in my yard raked up.I was pleasantly surprised upon completion to find I was gifted with the biggest ever spider bite on my neck.Thank you for the itching and swelling that occurred because I have a dinner out tonight that I am looking to and only last week purchased a turtleneck that will be perfect to cover the redness.

Oh boy...keep an eye on that bite.  Do you have an idea of what kind of spider it was?  I know they take care of other pesky insects, but they just freak me out😱

I don't know the spider but I have been bitten before and they usually itch and stay swollen for about a week.I am freaked by them too so I am always apprehensive in the yard at this time of the year.

A nurse told me to always go to the doctor with a spider bite.  You never know! 

[chickenbutt]

Oh no, a spider on your neck? Argh!

Oh, if we need to keep it positive - well, at least he didn't go in your mouth.

The turtleneck saved the day.

The Lord does work in mysterious ways! Painful, at times, but mysterious all the same! 

On a serious note, do keep an et on it, bites of any kind can be dangerous!
