This time of the year spiders are looking for hiding places... warm places... like your home! Some are poisonous and others are not.
If you get bitten by a spider, it is important to be able to identify what it was.
Having taught science for a few years, it became apparent that a lot of people cannot identify poisonous spiders.
Now don't get me wrong... I do not like spiders - any spiders, poisonous or not. That's one thing that Garfield the cat and I have in common.. spider gets close enough to me and if I have something to swat him/her with - he's DEAD!
But still if one bit you, you would want to be able to tell the emergency room folks what it was.. so even though this may make you squeamish... please learn the difference in spiders!
