Part of me wants to know what a bite feels like, then my logical side kicks in and over rides that urge.

Man!!! This is nothing you want to feel!!! I took 5 vicoden it got so bad and it did nothing, worst pain by far I ever have felt. The pain got so bad I vomited on numerous occasions......go with regali, but not ornata!!
My friend was bitten by a large H.mac and he had similar symptoms, but I'm surprised that your arm didn't swell more.....he had his hand blow up like a balloon.

I treat pokies almost as if they're deadly. I operate around them in a similar fashion to how I would a rattlesnake for instance...I don't give them an opportunity to bite me. I use LONG paint brushes/hemostats and keep my distance. I'm always assuming I'm going to get rushed. 98% of the time I might be overdoing it, but that other 2%...well I don't get tagged.
It's like operating a chainsaw, you get too comfortable, too complacent and drop your guard...that's when accidents happen.

well Rob, i hope the tests go well. Also just think, ive read that P. subfusca bites are the worst of all pokies!
i belive it was in the bite reports that it said the victim was in and out of consousness for a month!
ether way rob, he is off to see another girl(BrianS) and if you dont get a sac from her and brian does, ill make sure it was worth your pain!

Wow Rob, I hope your test come back okay, but what are they testing for? Is there anything that they will be able to help you with, just wondering.
I didn't find out until a few days later that I got bit on the same day as you by our 7" P. ornata. It is the only bite that I have ever had in 2 1/2 years. I had the same symptoms that you had but I never went to the doctor. I took 3 Advil, Benadryl and relaxed the rest of the day. I have to say that the muscle cramps I started to experience a couple days later (that lasted 2 weeks) were the worse part of it. I took some OTC leg cramp stuff and Advil but that is it. I never want to get a bit again by any of our T's, I don't care even if it's a G. rosea but I have to say in my experience that a hernia operation was by far the worse pain I have ever had, not the the P. ornata bite.
I really do hope you feel better and let us know about your test results.

You know. Something tells me that as bad as that bite had to hurt. I bet you are happy she tagged the wrong male.
