Several times I've come close to posting about how people always seem to blame spiders for any unexplained bite. In this case I'm inclined to think that she put "Spider Bite?" as the topic, because it sounds more sensational than "Bee Sting?" and might get more readers.I just love how she blames a spider yet in it she claims to not know what bit her dog

It does seem like people are always so quick to blame spiders. Whenever I ask why they think it's a spider bite, they almost always say, " What else could it be?" Well, I've messed around with spiders all my life and I've never been bitten, that I know of.

Good point with the mosquitoe bit! I'll have to file that one away.It is funny, (and a good point I might add), that putting "Spider Bite" will no doubt draw more attention.
When people say "What else could it be?" I usually answer with, "about a thousand other things!"
I sometimes ask people, (when they express their fear of spiders), if they are afraid of mosquitoes. When they counter with, "of course not" I then relay the message to them that mosquitoes are responsible for several million human deaths.
Typically, they give me a strange look and then continue on with their spider rant.
I to have held just about every spider I have ever owned, including widows and recluses, and have received only a handful of bites.
