Get Your Spider Senses Tingling
Sep 2nd, 2009 by Ealeal
Unlike mosquito bites (pesky and seasonal), bee stings (potentially life-threatening, possibly traumatic for anyone who remembers the movie My Girl) or snake bites (can you say uh-oh?!), spider bites – at least in my humble view – have enjoyed a rather exotic reputation since the morphing of Peter Parker from super-dork to superhero.
While mysteriously radioactive venom did wonders for Peter’s high school years and gave the world the Spider-Man series (Stan Lee, you’re the man), the majority of us will probably never be lucky enough to get bitten by a radioactive spider (believe me, I have tried! The only result was having attended many, many science exhibitions) and know the great responsibility that comes with great superpowers.
In fact, most of us will typically let out a faint whimper of panic and then lay the smack down on a spider if we encounter one. But, in any case, just so you’re prepared for the attack of an eight-legged enemy, check out this video from TV360 on how to treat a spider bite:
