Chuck E Cheese??? OH BOY!!! IM THERE! hehe

ya, it was brett...he got bit while we were running through some sawgrass i think.  He even asked about it the bite but didn't htink much of it till it swelled up the size of a golfball the next day.  I told him not to wear them rubber boots without socks...oh well.  He'll be ok, he caught it in enough time.

We were riding up in Clewiston making a new trail thru the damp forest at night. We saw tons of spiders, all different colors and sizes. The guy on the back was in charge of clearing the webs with a long stick. A couple times I was forced to jump from the bike dancing and jumping around like a lunatic because of some rogue spiders falling on me.

Been bitten many times. Don't bother me, but you never know how you body is going to react to the bite. Something like over 90% of all spider species live in Florida. That's a lot of different types of poisons. Luckily there is only like 2 kinds that can kill an average person. Sucks they both live in Florida.

isn't the brown recluse one of the one's that can kill you?  If not, isn't that the one that can eat huge holes in your skin?  I just remember that one as being one I should stay away from.

Eiger...I have to run to Naples early saturday morning to drop a camper off for repair (screwed it up at MSG last month) then will head over from Naples to Holeylands. so, I'll have to meet you there. But, nextel ID is 159*37*17301... name is Tony.  We can nextel on saturday and meet up.

after that bite, i did some research on my poisonous animals in the glades so im prepared if it happens again.

For starts, recluses aren't known to be deadly but they can leave big scars, and cause a lot of swelling and pain for up to a month or more!!!  Some people don't react too bad to them though.

As for the whole daddy long legs being poisonous but not being able to bite through human skin, I found this (and its interesting!)

There are two types of "Daddy long legs"...Daddy long legs and Daddy long leg SPIDERS.  Daddy long legs are in the arachnid family but not the same one as spiders (ticks, mites, scorpions are also in the arachnid family).  Daddy long legs are not venomous at all.  Daddy long leg spiders are not known to be fatal to humans and whether or not they can bite through the skin is not supported by fact.  They have an uncate fang system like the brown recluse so its possible they can bite through, but its also possible their fangs aren't as strong as the recluse.  So its just a myth as of right now that the daddy long leg spiders are extremely venomous.

I also learned that mocassin bites are rarely fatal.  Pit Vipers VOLUNTARILY inject venom, and most bites on humans don't even result in envenomation and the ones that do are small amounts.  They say that if you're not dead within the first 10 minutes of a mocassin bite, you have at least 12 hours or more to get treatment.  And to die in 10 minutes, you would have to be BITTEN and have that sucker hold on!  If you have immediate swelling around the bite, then you were bitten severely and should seek medical attention right away.  Otherwise, document the swelling as it expands from the bite.  It also says NOT to cut and suck or apply ice but rather just wash with soap and water and get to the hospital!

Kinda scary stuff!!!

anyways, i'll be out there around mid afternoon now i guess?  Maybe I'll go fishin in the morning...we'll see.

No. I didn't even feel it bite me, but I saw it hauling ass, like a criminal leaving the scene. Then I saw that I was bit. It never hurt persay, it just itched and swelled. It actually still itches a little to this day.

Earliest I see myself out there will be 2pm. Have to head up to PSL in the morning. I'll be going out there with my buddy HondaBeaterSoFla and maybe some others. We got the Red Ranchers, mine has the signature yellow bag on the back rack and a cooler on the front. Finding us shouldn't be too hard, usually we're doing something insane in the mud! Thinking of making a video on not what to do when riding. Last week we learned you can't drive a quad upside down in water for long. This week we're trying Stoppies  Grin

Axo I'm assuming you have a raptor so I would suggest you stay by the cross-over. The cross-over is right after you get of the pavement on to the dirt road. It's a lot drier there. If you keep going out you will run into the pumphouse and it's to wet out there. I have a warrior and I put gators on the back of it and I still got stuck a lot. It was a constant foot of water and sawgrass. No fun, but did run over an 6 foot alligator!

Hey Sean was that a cheap shot at me? It never said anywhere in the manual that you cant give it gas and pull out of an upsidedown position. I can see the humor in watching your buddy flip slooowly back with that oh $hit look on his face, and then while under the quad & under water, keep giving it a few jabs on the throttle. I kept saying "It pull outta this, it pulls outta every perdicament I throw at it". Cant say my Honda let me down, just kinda found that performance limit. Ya know? LOL
