Have a new Pacific Northwest experience to report on...
I was bitten by a hobo spider on my arm. The hobo spider is like the PNW equivalent of a brown recluse, except it is less deadly. I'm not positive it was a hobo, but it looked similar to photos I found.
After 8 days I still have a large welt and a scab. It is definitely less red and raised than when I received the bite last Thursday. It's pink and rough now. I guess maybe I'm one of the lucky duckies that didn't get a venomous one?
For those of you who don't know, I have an intense fear of spiders. So this was especially traumatic.
