Joono, do you have any aloe vera? If so, gently smear that on the bite.

If you remember I had a spider bite a while back. My doctor actually prescribed antibiotics for some reason (I think because the area started to blister) as well as antihistimines. It took quite a few days to stop itching/burning. Good luck with it.

I hope your op shop items fetch you a profit Icy 🙂

one of our IT guys got bitten by a redback, but his boyish bravado made him keep working to impress us with his superior networking skills 😄 ,,,, until he started stumbling and breathing funnily :^O

I thought I got bitten by a redback once, on the back of my neck. I felt the bite and reached up and pulled the thing off my neck and flung it away. It felt smooth and blobby like I imagined a redback might feel and I had just seen a nest of them near my garden furniture. So logical...not.

I was looking after my kids and two others. Thought about driving to the Dr and then thought that was dumb in case I went unconscious and killed us all. I called the ambos. Told the kids whoever found what bit me got $20. Ambos said I would live and redback bites don't kill most people.

I should've just called the mother of the visiting kids. She IS a Dr. Anyway, it was a bee. I found it stumbling about on the windowsill. I got the $20. WINNER!  ;\

 I got the $20. WINNER!  :^O

I'm still here.  I have got an aloe vera plant Prim.  I can't seem to kill that one.  I never go near it and it's in a pot and under shelter so it hardly ever gets any water and yet it looks happy and healthy.

I wish you could all see my computer................it is looking brilliant orange from the sun setting behind us................incredible.

Hi Buzz,

I really hate spiders, once i nearly had an accident because there was a big huntsman on the windscreen.

I bet I'm not the only person to do that though

I'm glad it was a bee instead, but I bet it hurt

Gosh i'm slow posting on an iPad, those posts were,nt there 30 mins ago when I started typing my last post

Spiders are the only thing that make me squeal like a girl.:O

You will be getting some very bright colourful sunsets for a while now Flashie after the fires.

I also ended up in the wrong lane once Deb on the Tonkin Hwy.  A huntsman suddenly appeared on the side window next to me and it was just a moment before I noticed that it was quivering in the wind.  It was on the outside hanging on for dear life.

Lol Flashie 😄 i don't mind spiders, except when they bite... I used to have a big furry huntsman named Sally. 

That's similar to what I did Joono  😄

back on the PC so all good here.

we've spent the last 4 hours doing some paperwork we needed to do, and I'm just taking a short break, but I'd better get back to it or it won't get done
