Possible Hobo Spider Bite

I think I may have been bit by a hobo spider, but I don't know for sure... Why do bad things always happen on a weekend when I can't go to my clinic?

The effected area is red and it had a small blister and I accidentally popped it... It hurts and itches really bad. :unsure:

I don't know if it's an ingrown hair or a spider bite. I've been told that hobo spider bites will look like an ingrown hair at first, then hours later the flesh starts to die. :(

I really hope this isn't a hobo spider bite... I've found a couple hobo spiders in my house the last couple months.

Please wish me luck...

Soo umm... no chance it could be radioactive?

Why are you still posting on GBAtemp if you're in pain?
Go to the hospital already.

My parents won't answer their fucking phone... I can't drive myself to the hospital.

Call the hospital. We don't want to lose a great GBATemper! :(

These hobo spiders look like a very similar species we have in Tennessee. I think it's a funnel web weaver (also called a grass spider). I looked up the hobo spider and the resemblance is uncanny. But since I'm in Tennessee, I doubt it's the same one. They aren't dangerous apparently.

But please do something. Your life is worth any trouble you have to go through!

ive once seen this movie and I heared that there is this phone number you can call... I think it was 911. Or if the hospital is nearby get on your bike and go to the first aid room!



And now for some propaganda for the Dutch motherland: The netherlands has 0 poisonous animals in the wild.

I take it he DID go to a Hospital...

I would like to see some images of this thing though...Never heard of a Hobo Spider.

Isn't there like a 24hr Nurse/Health hotline that you can talk to a professional and determine whether its worth going to hostipal. Also by thinking you've got a spider bite could worsen it as it could just be blister/ingrown hair and you will become paranoid thus giving you pseudo-symptoms.

Thankfully the most dangerous animals in my country are the sheep and a smaller species of the White Tail spider (Not that poisonous), although now some Red Back Spiders have been entering our country from Oz >_>.

Holy shit, you are one sick man. This person could be dying right now, and all you care about is seeing pictures of her in pain?!


By the way Talaria, don't blame us Aussies for your spider problems. =="

You could have just done a Google image search though.

I hope Joujoudoll is okay. I haven't seen a post from her in days. :(
