We have a brown recluse infestation.

A brown recluse bite:

A small white blister initially appears at the bite site surrounded by a large, congested, swollen area. After 24 to 36 hours have passed, a systematic reaction begins which is characterized by restlessness, fever, chills, nausea, weakness, and joint pain. Now, this is where it starts getting real gross. The affected area enlarges, becomes inflamed and the tissue is hard to the touch. The spider’s venom contains an enzyme that destroys cell membranes in the wound area with affected tissue gradually sloughing away, exposing underlying tissue. Within 24 hours, the bite site can erupt into a “volcano lesion,” which is a hole in the flesh due to damaged, gangrenous tissue.

This really sucks.

Been bitten by one, not something I'd wish on anyone. Left a cool scar though.

And yes, those little buggers suck ass. Pest bomb your whole house and a good 50 yards in all directions of the house, that should do it.

It's called a camel spider because it lives in the Middle East and feeds on large animals such as camels, dogs and humans. It approaches when the "prey" is asleep/resting and macerates any exposed flesh (it's mouth opens into four digging/rasping "fangs" and like a spider it covers it's prospestive meal with digestive juices to make it easier to ingest - the camel spider's "saliva" also contains a powerful anaesthetic which allows it to feed on living prey). A fully-grown camel spider can grow up to 7-8 inches in body length. They're very aggressive and always hungry. They can and do hiss, while the bigger ones squeal, and can move at ~30mph. Also, its jaws are, relatively speaking, the strongest of any animal on the planet.

Call the pest people, and make sure they do a good job. A friend of mine in Texas had them coming back all last summer.

addendum to brown recluse venom. it is potent enough to kill small animals and pets, babies, and triggers anaphlactic shock in people who are also allergic to bee stings.

oh btw, thats respiratory arrest.

That's quite possible. The bugger was hiding in a pair of shorts, bit me on the inside thigh about two inchs from making it a contest.

i used to not see what the big deal with spiders was for a while. had a few on my windowsil when i was kid, thought it was cool how they kept the bugs out. 'till i got bit by one. didn't mind that too much. till i kept getting bit. then a nasty one bit me.

then i wasn't too keen on the whole thing. I'm not scared of them, being the fool that I am, but i don't have a problem crushing them between my fingers anymore.
