Friday 2am turned over in bed felt a little prick on side of tummy. Ignored it and went back to sleep. Got up in morning and I had a lot of pain and noticed a thumb size red mark which was only slightly itchy. Then I noticed a dead spider in my bed.

Fast forward 4 days I have a rash 6 inches by 4 inches hot and painful. Despite using antihistamine tablets and cream it’s turned into cellulitis. Now on antibiotics which are causing side effects.

The moral of the story please be careful of spiders.

It is.
I always shake everything and peer inside it, and check all around the bathroom bits before I do anything.

I laughed at the title.
It got my attention .

Spiders and bees don't bother me -I don't know why !
I've only had one nasty sting from an African bee so my bee man told me otherwise I don't have a reaction .
I have thought of keeping bees 🐝 !
And yet , I do have hay fever .
