    You’ve already beaten the odds by being bitten by a venomous spider, Wiz. You’re unlikely to beat them again by getting a winning lottery ticket.

    There’s an episode of “Peppa Pig” that teaches children that spiders are cute and harmless. That episode was banned from transmission in Australia.

    In BC, we have brown recluse spiders which can give you flesh eating disease, but rarely does anyone get bitten. We also have black widow spiders in the Okanagan. I had never seen one, then one evening at dinner, my son spotted one on the ceiling right above me.

    Technically, aren’t all spiders venomous?

    With all the critters in Australia that can kill a person, maybe we should have left the continent alone. Give massive amounts of respect to native Australians for surviving not only the critters, but surviving us too.

    They say many spiders have venom that would kill humans, but their fangs are too small to pierce our skin, so we dodged that bullet!

    ALL spiders are poisonous, all of them. The vast majority of them are not dangerous to humans either because their poison isn’t strong enough or their “fangs” are too small to puncture human flesh. But ALL spiders are poisonous. All snakes, no.

    Wrong – ALL spiders have some kind of venom – just they all vary on how they interact with human immune systems. Many of them we’d never notice

    All things being said, you still need only that one to be in trouble.

    Brown Recluse are about the worst to get a bite from, at least in the USA.

    Bet the Bengals straight up. A $100 bet pays $390. Told to The Count by a friend.
