Gene, as we become more "mature," the liklihood that you will have another
reaction is quite high since your first reaction was relatively severe. I'd
suggest you keep liquid Benedryl on hand. It works in half the time the
pills do! Also, I'd have cotton balls and glycerine on hand. Soaking a
cotton ball with glycerine and taping it on the bite will help keep the
venom localized and will draw it out.
Also, *all* spiders have venom. Just most aren't known for viting humans.
If the Daddy Longlegs and all those that look like them were to develop a
mouth in proportion to their size, the human race would have been thinned
out long ago! Brown recluse, Hobos and Black widows are no where near as
venomous as the Daddy Longlegs!
