Turns out he has been bitten by two hobo spiders in the last couple of months. Long story short it has turned into a really bad health crisis. He finally went to the ER and they rushed him to OR. He has some really deep incisions to drain the poison and on some hardcore antibiotics. All of this leaves him lethargic, nauseous, and with persistent headaches. Here is praying he gets well soon

Yikkers!!! That's not good. Will definitely be praying.

Ok, got two things to say --

First, here is hoping he will get well also. Can't seem to locate the "praying" emocon right now, so I'll just say it:

*praying*

Second, I know everyone here by their board names, but there are still a few people who's real names I haven't pinned down-- who exactly is Mike??

Mike Link the former member of Rose and Mad At The World.. his name here is Zombierockstar

dood, that sucks. My wife got bit last summer by an unknown spider they speculate could have been a hobo. They got it early enough that they just put her on antibiotics and that cleared it up.
Will definitely pray.

Holy shit! I just saw this now! Def prayers for Mike - he is an awesome dood that has contributed a lot of great stuff here when he has stopped by.

I've never even heard of a "hobo spider". Geez, add it to the list of nasties in this world...

Yeah, we just get lovely scorpions, black widows and brown recluse spiders here.

Sleep well knowing that any of them could be laying eggs in your ears as you sleep!

Found out on Wikipedia what the hobo spider was...Those are aggressive in your country? I'm pretty much astonished, I know those, we have them a plenty and this never happened either to me or people I know. Maybe I'm mistaking it for another kind of common tegeinerae we got there.

Anyway, we'll pray : I know from an animal doctor friend that even common spider venom can create bad reactions on some young or reactive people *erk*

FUCK HOBO SPIDERZZZ!!!
