It's hard to know what's real any more when it comes to electronically sent photos, but now that the weather is warming I figured a general reminder and warning about poisonous spiders is still a good thing, even if the photos turn out to be doctored.

It's summertime & cleanup is going on. Be careful where you put your hands. They like dark spaces & woodpiles.Also cool areas in the attic.

Some of the pictures towards the end are pretty nasty,

                Day 10

Send this around to people you love, because it is almost summertime. 

People will be digging around, doing yard work, spring cleaning,
and sometimes in their attics.


The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider

Please be careful.
Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent
and highly negative consequences.

They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics or other
areas that might not be frequented by people or light. 

If  you have a need to be in your attic, go up there and turn on a light
and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work.


 PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR  RELATIVES AND FRIENDS!
