Mexican TV and Taratulas

Hey this is funny, I don;t quite condone the way they present it as it can lead to other people attempting to recreate what they see (allergic reactions, not knowing of the species is MS and others), BUT, at least they are showing through a NATIONAL TV STATION, that a Tarantula bite is not life threatening.

Here ya go:

Yup I wanna go play with a lividum now, they need to show the person that got bit an hour, then a couple hours then a day and then a week later and see if hes gonna do that again..

Yeah, if you're going to take a hit, don't choose an old world T. I remember reading a bite report regarding a Cobalt Blue and the person was curled in the fetal position crying like a baby.

i'm always tempted to take tara bites when i read those really over the top bite reports

the difference in a bad centipede bite between when i am freaking out and when i am zen is almost unbelievable.... when you freak out i think you make like, positive feedback loops that increase your calamity chemicals and sensitivity and make you more nervous

From his replies he mentions:

'Pain at the bite site, arm and back during the first couple of days', then, two days later, testicular cramps that feel like "shocks".
