I've only been bitten twice; once was when I was sleeping. I probably rolled over on top of it, so it bit me in my bicep. The other time I was sitting in a chair outside. I accidentally pinned it against the chair with my leg so of course, it bit me. I've never been bitten while holding them though. I think spiders are misunderstood organisms, but it's understandable. They freak me out, too.

Agree wholeheartedly, completely misunderstood
I find tarantulas to be sorta cute & adorable. They even have little eyelashes between their little eyes. heh,
What type of spiders have you been bitten by?

The first one was a yellow sac spider. The other was some type of orb-weaver, I think.

There was a story floating around a while back about a home in Kansas that was infested with brown recluses. Like literally thousands of them. It was so bad that the family had to move and the house was condemned.
Amazingly enough, none of the family members suffered a single bite despite being virtually waist deep in them.

Diane Barger and her family moved into a farmhouse outside Kansas City, Kansas, six years ago. They were looking for fresh air and country living. What they found were thousands of eight-legged creatures. NPR's Eric Niiler reports on the spider invasion.
At first, the Bargers took little notice of the spiders crawling around their 19th-century limestone home. "We'd see spiders, maybe one a week," says Diane Barger, "until the time when we discovered we had a recluse."
That would be the infamous brown recluse spider. It's the size of a quarter and poisonous. It lives only in the Central Midwest, yet it's blamed for tens of thousands of serious bites across the country every year. After Barger's 13-year-old daughter identified one, the family started finding them all over the house.
"We started looking around, the first night we found about eight, so we think we're going to die in the night," says Diane Barger. By the end of the week, they counted 100 spiders.
As its name suggests, the brown recluse spider is a shy, nocturnal creature that prefers to be left alone. The family moved their beds away from the walls so the spiders couldn't join them under the covers. Barger also contacted a brown recluse expert. He asked the family to collect all the spiders they could for six months. The project turned the family into amateur entomologists.
Every night, Diane and her husband spent up to two hours capturing spiders in a jar. It became a contest. On their best night, they came in with a haul of 37. At the end of six months, they had trapped 2,055.
Yet no one in the family was ever bitten.

My mom was bitten by a brown recluse, while visiting the virgin islands.
It decay'd all the flesh/skin about 2" or so diameter around the actual bite. They had to scrap it out & stuff it with gauze.
She was released the next day. Damn Cruzans lol

After the yellow sac spider bit me, red streaks started migrating up my arm. I went to the ER the next day, and I got prescribed antibiotics. I was fine after that.

EDM said: There are only 2 poisonous spiders in the U.S.A that you have to worry about. The Brown Recluse and the Black Widow.
2 fucking spiders out of 100's if not 1000's.
People's worries of spiders is mind boggling to me. It has been shown to actually be a passed down of genetics.
I was about to say the Flaming Lips guitarist almost had to have his arm amputated after being bit by brown recluse but I looked it up and he totally lied. His infected heroin hole had nothing to do with a spider bite. I guess it became a nice song even if it's bullshit.
