Btw, I found this little Slatey Grey in the backyard the other day. I heard they were pretty harmless, so no worries there ;)

That shirt could do much more damage then that Slatey Grey ever could!
 
hhmm I have had a scorp sting remove my nail and all the blue ink ( tattoo) on one of my fingers.... Hows that :D
 
I was bitten by a marsh snake. I was trying to assist shed him and he got out of my grip and reached round and chomped down into my thumb. In seconds I could feel the tingling sensation and before long my thumb swelled so bad it felt tight. Next morning my hand was swollen and pain up to my elbow lasted a week. Then thats it. All went down. I decided to let the marsh snakes go. He can work out his skin himself.

OMG, i didnt know mouse spiders were dangerous, i had one in a tank in my room when i was younger, it fell out a boot onto my mums foot and i kept it. I also used to keep scorpions but i dont know if the type i had were dangerous.
 
red back spiders regularly theydont seem iwother me to much a little sick and then itch for a week was attacked by bee swarm last week stung 34 times wasnt much fun antihistamines helped but felt like **** for 24 hours
 
Is anyone else sitting at home twitching and feeling little crawly things running over them after reading this...?
 
i actuly had something crawl up my leg just then :) and it was a spider but only huntsman :)

my m8 was stung by box jelly fish ( i know it wasnt a bite but still)
i had a scorpin crawl over my foot when camping once and it didnt register with me untill it was on my other foot that it was a scorp
i think the record for bee stings in australia was 213 times (please correct if wrong)
 
I feel your pain Saratoga, i react badly to ticks aswell. I still have multiple old bites that flair up, particularly when ive got another tick on me somewhere. Hazards of crawling around on your belly taking photos i guess.
 
They don't bite. They just suck the life out of you.

My word they do, trust me on that. I once saw a drowning lawyer escorted to shore by a pack of great whites as a matter of professional curtesy!
 
I've been stung by a cone shell and had to be put on a advanced course of steroids and antihistomine and monitored over a 24 period my hand swelled up and so did my tongue and it felt like I had bugs crawling under my skin

Thats an unusual thing to be hit by! I hear they are very deadly....you are lucky!

OMG!!!! That's why I love snakes - they don't have 8 legs!!! Arachnophobia would be a MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT for me!!!

thats nothing. i was born in dubbo and one day wen i woke up i had something covering my eye and not long after i relised it was a huntsman and wen i brushed it off i saw it was about 13cm across :p...3 weeks later i foundout it was a female because my pillow and blankets were covered in cute little baby huntsmans ( i slept with undies on 4 next few days just to b safe )
only spider i will happily kill is a funnel web due to little kids around my area ( ppl living both sides of me and behind me and kids who come around with their rents to talk )
