Arm is getting useless!?

[YarnBarf]

Yeah, either you're becoming a superhero, or you're having a reaction to a spider bite (maybe both). Write a note for your parents, call a friend or 911, and get a doctor to look at it.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

If i remember correctly Brown Recluse bites will cause Necrosis in the bite area, aka pretty serious shit if not tended to by a doctor.

Can, not will. They're one of the few types of spiders that can cause wounds that end up necrotising.

 

[Deef]

Get to a hospital before it starts necrotizing.

 

[SirDerick]

I'm sorry, I saw enough of the T.V. show House M.D. to say with the utmost certainty that...

Get to a hospital, now.

But then, that's what everyone else is saying.

 

[asinann]

See a Dr. moron. And it's not moron because you haven't already gone to see one, I'm calling you a moron because you were trying to raise an extremely toxic spider.

 

[Blimey]

If your instinct is to go to a gaming forum, then we appear to have a more serious problem then a spider bite.


When you do eventually decide to head to the doctor, make sure you get him to check your head, mate.

A BROWN RECLUSE BITE CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. YOU NEED TO GET THAT CHECKED OUT IMMEDIATELY.

 

[CloakedOne]

You could seriously lose your arm, those things are extremely poisonous!

 

[Yokai]

Seriously? A brown recluse? GET YOUR ASS TO THE HOSPITAL NOW YOU FOOL, BEFORE YOUR GODDAMN ARM FALLS OFF. Not even joking. If you have an allergic reaction, a brown recluse bite can be the most fatal and painful in the world.

This reminds me of the time I threw a stick at a mate but the stick turned out to be a King Brown snake. It bit him and he died five minutes later. Fuck we laughed at that...



... then we went for ice cream.

Obviously your honors class isn't as smart as they give you credit for.

Masturbate with the other hand. Don't want that to spread.

I call bullshit!

^Symptom.

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

Right...a high school supported the raising of an extremely toxic spider.
At least it's a bit more creative than made up mental illnesses.

I attended a few high schools that did (mostly redbacks).

Oh damn, you caught me in my blatantly obvious lie that only a moron would believe.

I knew it was a snake and it didn't bite him so of course he didn't die from it (he died in a car crash about 7 years later). He screamed like a girl. Which we laughed at and then went for ice cream.

 

[Klarinette]

This is because you touch yourself at night.

Dude, get to a hospital. I don't care how - call anyone. Even if it turns out to be less than serious, your arm is going numb! I read a post about Lyme Disease... might wanna at least make sure it's not that =/

 

[Lavi]

Almost no spiders can actually kill a healthy full-grown adult. If people above could even utilize Wiki, they'd notice the Brown Recluse is as non-lethal as most spiders. It is rare for it to cause death though minimal gangreous lesions to losing a large chunk can occur.

Aka, ZOMG you ain't gonna die.

And I doubt you're telling the truth anyways, but:

Edit: I was bitten by a Brown Recluse. We were raising one we found in the forest behind the school, and it must have bitten me when I was replanting the food for it.
Edit 2: It is not my teacher's fault. He was assigned to be the chaperon for the senior trip to D.C, and our school thought since we're his top honors class, we could handle running it ourselves. We didn't think the spider would be a problem.

I have some kind of red bite on my left arm and surrounding the bite is a pink circle the size of a half dollar. As I'm typing, my arm is growing more and more numb, and almost unmovable. Any guesses? Or suggestions?

They only bite when heavily pressed against, I'd be surprised if it was a bite if you're not sure about touching it.

That's for cleaning wounds, silly person... Also, not advisable if you have a UTI.
