Great news! Immune system supported by sawdust, shellac, and whiskey works for me.
We all pretty much knew you are more ornery than any little ol' spider. Good deal!!
I am scared to death of spiders!
I had a soldier in my platoon that bit while in the field in Texas. He ignored the symptoms until his squad leader noticed he was not performing as usual. We took him to the hospital and they ended up cauterizing the infected area. He spent 3 days in the hospital and a week on bed rest.
That is one nasty little spider!
Was just reading up on the little buggers. What was the medical treatment you got? As acording to WIKI, there really isn't much. It claims there have been no formal clinical trials for treatment.

There have been two confirmed bites in N.C. , so one more thing to look for. Usually it is just the baby copperheads we avoid.
