Re: [OT] attic insulation.
 

When I was in the Navy, I flew to Sigonella, Sicily with some guys who
were going to be stationed there (I was passing through to the Gulf).
One of them had a brown recluse in his packed baseball glove (that had
presumably been in his garage) the whole trip, and it bit him a day or
2 after when he put his hand in it. It being Italy and that being an
American spider, they didn't have the antivenom and couldn't get it for
a couple more days-the long and the short is, he lost his hand. Awful
animals.

Re: Brown Recluse spiders
 

The website needs some pictures for easier identification. While I hate off
topic posts, I doubt I would have heard of this otherwise. Good luck to you
and I will say an extra prayer.

Re: [OT] attic insulation.
 

I never realized how dangerous the Brown Recluse was. I always thought that
spider from Australia was the most dangerous (funnel web?).
