Spider-bites

Thank's AF1 for the advice, nearly 2 weeks on since the last symptoms subsided, (occasionally a bit itchy but not really visible) In retrospect and after talking to horrified fellow crew, realise I probably should have sought medical attention.Especially as you say it could be reoccurant and both sites are within 6 inches of each other...let's see it happens again next month then!

TheStormyPetrel, don't know if I should thank-you or curse you! Thanks for the web-link. That poor woman. At first I was grateful, my symptoms weren't THAT severe, however, apparently my tissues may be secretly necrosing below the surface!!! Any vacancies in your airline for a one-legged dolly??!! Thanks anyway!
