So, little spiders have invaded my room.

Did I mention that SPIDERS have invaded MY ROOM?

*shrieks*

I don't usually have a problem with spiders, but these are rather large little buggers, maybe a couple centimeters long and very quick. Um, are small light brown English spiders poisonous? *runs off to Google*

I've gotten to the point where I can recognize brown recluses (which are actually more poisonous than black widows, even though the latter seem scarier).

*meeps at story*

And my bedroom totally has the trapdoor leading into the attic in the ceiling. Spider City, lemme tell ya.

See, the problem is, with Black Widows, if they get you you pretty much just keel over and die, or you don't.

Brown Recluses are another story entirely.

I thought it was more "you'll feel pretty crappy for a couple days, and if you have certain conditions you mgiht die, but other thant hat it's not as bad as usually believed." No?
