- I fully agree with what Mike said...I had to read it twice when you said that you got bitten on an airplane. It seemed rather an odd place to get a spider bite. I, too, am curious what kind of spider it was that got you...my grandmother was bitten years ago by a brown recluse and it wasn't pretty at all...sad thing was, she didn't know about it for a while until it looked awful. I hope things get better for you...all the best wishes! -Michael On Mar 17, 2007, at 10:39 AM, Mike Griffin wrote: > - > What kind of spider?
