Chemist tells me how dangerous T bites can be .

[Deb60]

So I go into my local chemist today to get a dropper and a Oral syringe to use for my Sling which I got on Tuesday as it is only 1cm , first of all she looks at me as if I'm mad , then she goes on about how dangerous spiders can be if they bite you , and had I been bitten ! Next time I'll make sure I pretend I want them for my Grandson or something . Anyone else had an experience like this ?

Yup, of course I'm expecting people to be misinformed. So I am prone to yanking people's chains on occasion.

"do you have any more of these? I need them for my tarantulas, they're about this big. Hey, I have pictures...wanna see ?"

Not yet but I do look forward to the day I give the uninformed a reality check

 

[nicodimus22]

Did you ask her how many people in human history have died from tarantula bites?

Luckily my gf works at the pharmacy, but she thinks I'm mad anyway xD

I'm not sure that's anything other than basic SOP for girlfriends thou and everyone I work with thinks I'm crazy and I think there expecting to see my obituary in the paper due to some horrible spider related mishap

In Italy happens the opposite. When I talk to old (this is important, elders Italian chemist/s can into 'wise') about Scolopendridae etc they are interested and fascinated like I'm a sort of douche Piero Angela with his annoying 'Quark' TV programs. Mah
