Tal Najakcharmer,

You are simply the most rounded woman I have witnessed of recent, I would attempt to find a subject that you don't have at some information or idea about but I think I would be burdened with an enormous task. It may seem I am chasing your posts around simply to see what you have next to say. Keep up the impressive work woman. Is it the long hair that you draw you strength from. (grinz) Of course you know where that idea came form.

Why thank you sir.

There's quite a lot I don't know and many subjects I am abysmally ignorant on. But I don't usually post about stuff I haven't a clue about, so it only looks like I'm an annoying know-it-all in areas where I actually do know something.

Agree with bull, and even if it's only the topics you post about, you've posted about *this* one so let me tap your knowlege fountain a sec please...is it rational to cancel the vacation to Australia based on the spiders? At a resort is it likely they'd be anything to worry about?

After reading this thread...not so much the reading as seeing the pics int he link, but also seeing people say they were bitten multiple times, I'm feeling extra scared about the possibility of the bites and aparently from the Aussies in the chat I was in recently, these spiders are on the rise this time of year moreso than other months.

What I really want of course is the honest answer...but what i really *really* want is to go with the vacation plans and have everyone be safe and myself not staying up at night with all the lights on and telling everyone to do the same so we'll get home safely

I feel like a bit of a nimrod for worrying about it so much but there will be some elderly family there with us as well...plus my arachnophbia of course, so my fear is for everyone there as well as just for my own selfish reasons

Level, I hope everything turns out well ... BUT, this thread just has to be a TOS violation.

I have now offically put every single fucking thing in my room, in a sealed plastic bag. I'm pushng my bed to the middle of the room, and am going to check Overstock.com for some sort of bed hover device.

You are Satan, dear.

Heeeeheeeheeehhe.....

Hey, don't feel like the lone ranger, caitlyn, I almost beat my pants to death before I put them on this morning, and am going on a killing/cleaning spree this weekend lol.

I'm notoriously arachnophobic, looking to holiday in Australia for Christmas with a few friends and family, and after using chat with some who live in the wonderful land of Oz, have to say I'm thinking twice about even going at all, mainly due to these spiders. One lady told me how just recently her husband was bitten, aparently one had laid eggs in her sofa -- my skin is about ready to crawl off my bones just at the thought.

Anyhow, she said they discovered this infestation afetr one came out and he was bitten on the arm. His arm swelled immensely and he was rushed to the hospital, he's fine now but aparently the itching, swelling and pain was intolerable for a while after the bite. Wish you luck, hope it's as comfortable as possible.

I checked out that link that was posted, I never knew that could happen, I thought it was just dangerous if left untreated and swelling was the only symptom...wow.

Now seeing users in North America saying they are over here -- I'm about ready to look for a home in Alaska where it'd probably be too cold for these little bastards to survive, am I right?

Just wow...this will haunt me for a while, not looking forward so much to that holiday anymore

Thanks gurlie.... and hey, don't let it ruin your vacation, there are dangers no matter where you are. Just use caution.

Cobras would be easy and cheap to get in Okinawa as they are all over Asia. They are not native to Japan, but they are extremely common in China and are sold casually dead or alive in Chinese exotic meat markets. Importing mambas would be MUCH harder and require an expensive shipment from Africa and a couple of reams of official paperwork. African exporters have a minimum order below which they won't even ship a box, so anyone wanting a couple of mambas either has to find a local importer already in the snake trade or lay out a couple grand at absolute rock bottom minimum. This was even more true back in the 1980's. Keeping imported mambas alive for any length of time if you didn't know much about snakes....well....let's call that a difficult task. That plus the fact that a mamba/mongoose fight would be as sadly one sided in the snake's favor as a cobra/mongoose fight is in the mongoose's favor leads me to suspect that they were not using Dendroaspis polylepis but an Asian look-alike. No one would know the difference (except the mongoose who didn't get killed). The ignorant people supporting this cruel spectacle with their admission money certainly wouldn't.

Not to take away from level's unfortnate bout with a spider, but thanks for the great information. Your posts here have really been good.

To be totally honest with you though.....I never ventured to the north side of the island to watch these fights....because they actually sounded boring..... I stayed down on the southern end of the island near Naha, so I could lend my fellow Marines 40 for 70 -80 because they went out the night before and blew all their money on the whores. ; }

PS - thanks level.... you got an invatation to GB and some of us learned about snakes and spiders.

You people affraid of a lil spider??

well they're coming for ya, and the brown recluse is in alot of places.
hell a few years ago I killed one just outside my motel room in byson city NC
and he was a mean lil shit. I took a picture of him, and he came at me, and I killed him.
didn't want him bitining me then or in the night, or him biting anyone else.
I verified his picture later with web pictures, and felt a lot better for killing him.
good thing I didn't name him charlette.

Where specifically are you going in Oz, and what activities do you plan to be involved in during your vacation?

I specifically go visiting places to seek out toxinous organisms, and I have to say that it's a hell of a hard job and I feel damn lucky when I find some. It's not like I'm ever lucky enough to find places that are so automatically "infested" with them that I don't have to spend hours, days or even weeks driving slowly down desert roads, climbing rocks, flipping tin sheets, moving rotten logs, etc, just to get my hands on a few. I am not sure those places &%%$! exist, because that would make my life just too darned easy. Considering the fact that I spend the vast majority of the hours in my vacation day (and night) actively seeking the local toxic fauna and I always feel bloody lucky to get my hands on any, I do not imagine the average tourist in normal tourist accommodations is going to have much to worry about.

If you are staying in a flophouse in the middle of the outback, and your planned itinerary includes hiking, camping, climbing rocks and trees and digging in the dirt, you have a very good chance of encountering some creepity crawlies. Be kind enough to bring them back in your suitcase for me, would you please?

If you are staying at a normal tourist accommodation in a big city and not poking your nose deeply into the wilderness, your chances of encountering interestingly toxic wildlife drop to near zero. And that is why I spend my vacations doing the former and not the latter.

I mean, I could probably write you a treatise on how to go looking for the most interesting, attractive and medically significant toxinous organisms of a given area. Then I'd warn you that you should not be too disappointed if you worked hard at doing these things for hours or days and still didn't find any. I get very annoyed when that happens, but it's not an uncommon outcome of days or nights in the field looking for the buggers on purpose. Since you are being kind enough to forfeit your share of these treasures to folks who appreciate them more, all you need to do is NOT go looking for them. It's not like they usually show up in nice hotel rooms.

Er, unless of course I'm staying there at the same time and stashing my finds in the bathroom.

Level, I hope you get through this with no complications and heal quickly. Thank goodness we don't have those critters in WA, but i do feel well educated about them now and will be more careful when i travel.

Hey,
I havent read the whole thread yet, and I really hope you dont have any problems with the bite. I can tell you though that if gets all yucky the scars, oh they are not pretty. My scar is prolly 2" around right at the base of my back. It was soo great while it was healing. Eww. I can go into details if you want, but I will refrain. It still grosses me out. I never figured my bottom would literally rot. hehe.. Ok so maybe I only amuse myself.

hoping it stays well
Lee
