Sure he will. Because this young mind acknowledges that arachnids are not the psychopathic killing machines that 12 year olds on the internet make them out to be. Spiders are our bros, not enemies.
Its true though. And most of the Highly Venomous spiders don't even have confirmed bite reports, like Sicarius species I.E that ebin "I ******* love cocaine" spoder
Which is kind of controversial right now. They're still trying to figure out just how many "brown recluse" bites are actually from spiders or good old fashioned flesh eating bacteria.
I once caught a largeish furry spider Which I later learned was either a wolf spider or a hobo spider in my house and shooed it outside, two hours later I felt a sharp prick on one of my legs, slapped it and found it to be what looked like the same spider.
by the next day I had a huge chunk of melted pussing yellow flesh on that leg about the diameter of a tooney and about a centimer deep. I don't remember what happened next very well because I got super sick and spent the next week passed out after but I remember being legitimately afraid for my life for a bit there.
So what? bacteria and viruses do worse but if I were to post a picture of Streptococcus would you have the immediate reaction of a twelve year old? Maybe, actually quite possibly. It's probably a mathematical certainty.
If I were to remind you that you are gargantuan compared to them and all it takes to avoid a bite is to shake your shoes out; would you believe me? Seriously, I doubt that the Sydney educational system doesn't teach preventive measures against the funnel web.
Okay. Well i can't sway someone from their opinions but I would like to say they aren't psycho animals. Just a creature trying to capture and eat another; it doesn't want to waste it's venom on something it can't eat. But I get it, some people are arachnophobic.
jellyfish don't have brains they basically float around and kill whatever is unlucky to cross it's path. either way spiders are assholes and i don't like them. some of them are alright though...
Okay, point taken. I just have an affection and understanding because I breed them. But I do like the jellyfish reference in contrast. (as well as the spider woman anime thing I keep seeing but don't know anything about.)
I dont even know if you can still associate her with spiders though. If you got spooked from her then that's a next level fear, something that would warrant getting help.
I agree. I don't kill the house spiders in my room because they eat all the mosquito that fly into their web. They ain't freeloading so I'm cool with that.
Or the ****** doesn't know what it is and it's child-like curiosity will get the best of it? I did the same thing with electrical outlets.
Up until the spider bites it, where the child then registers the spider as a threat and "bad touch".
Now the child has arachnophobia.
The real solution is to stop parents from being ******* cowards and teach them to teach their offspring that spiders aren't the killing machines everyone makes them out to be. The chance of getting bitten by a dangerous spider is so low, and even then, you might not get a reaction from it at all or it could be a "Dry bite"
**** you, you bee loving ****** . You got Malaria? You happy about it? Thank your friendly neighborhood spider, mother ****** . You're lucky I don't track you down and cock slap you in your bee loving cunt face you *********** lord.
That's what? wolf spider?
I got either brown recluses or wolf spiders, can't tell running around my house, I'm not touching any of those ******* just to be on the safe side, that and no medical insurance, so I can't really risk it biting me and sending me to the ER cause turns out it was a recluse.
Better safe then even more in debt.
wolf spiders generally tend to be a little patchy in color... variations of lighter and darker browns and greys (region dependent). recluse spiders are a medium brown, with darker markings. the best tell of a recluse (if you have the nuts to get close enough to check) is a "violin" or "fiddle" shaped marking in the middle of their back.
Holy crap man, that's off the walls bonkers.
Isn't their venom deadly to humans and all that, 20 bites christ... let alone they laid eggs in her.
That's like nopevil to Hell and back.
Well when you're born, you're only inherently scared of one thing; loud noises.
Every other fear was learned, either by watching parents' reactions or having something unpleasant associated with the object of fear.
If a kid is playing with a snake, even a harmless one, and the mom freaks the **** out, the kid will think snakes = bad and will grow up with a fear of them. Same for spiders, bugs, any other thing.
There was also a study performed by John B. Watson where they'd introduce fluffy cute animals like kittens and puppies to the baby named Little Albert, then they'd make a loud noise like banging pots and pans. The baby would, of course, cry like crazy. Soon, Little Albert started crying just from the sight of anything fluffy and cute. John B. Watson was a dick.
