Thank you to those of you who have been in touch by phone, text and email. I was taken back to hospital yesterday because of the spider bites and a nasty allergic reaction to the antibiotics. I’ll spare you the symptoms but it wasn’t pretty. Sleeping a lot now… and going back to bed.
Unfortunately, the spider is still somewhere in the car…
Press a button or two to share... go on, make my day :)

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo 
OMG, I hadn’t read about this yet, Sue. I hope by the time you see my reply, you are feeling MUCH better. I will confess, while I’m fine with reptiles, I loathe spiders, and have had to work very hard to learn not to kill them on sight. The thought of one lurking in my car, ready to draw blood, is horrifying! I’d be very interested to know if you ever find out what it is. It sounds formidable! And I’d heard spider bites are awful, but you’re the first I’ve “met” with firsthand experience. I’m SO sorry! Hope your ordeal ends soon, and becomes a thing of the past. But mostly, I hope you catch and KILL the wretched spider!! Good luck. My thoughts are with you!

I also agree with Ritu. This has become a serious health issue. If it’s a Brown Recluse, (I don’t know if you have the “Brown Recluse” spider in the UK–if not, it may have traveled in your American friends’ luggage). it’s poisonous and might lay eggs. I hope you’re feeling better soon. Take care. — Suzanne

With that reaction, I had a feeling you would need to go to the hospital. I’m so sorry this happened to you. By contrast, my swollen finger from a bee bite the other day is just a pin prick. Take care of yourself. Also remember WHICH antibiotic you had the reaction to – there may be others you can tolerate. Did they give you some steroids?
