Meet the gang!

Yeah, I read about that. But with how fat she's getting it makes me wonder. Pretty soon she'll be python sized at the rate shes growing

[flickerfriend]

could you post a piccy of mama? some of the other members may be able to tell.

Her and Snakey don't like me right now. I'm pretty sick, or as my boyfriend says... I'm a sicko But anyways, they wont even come near my hand. If she was she'd just be... I don't know, I think I caught them at it a week or 2 ago. If I weren't sick they'd probably let me pick them up, but only Snakey has let me so far. In a couple days when I feel better I'll be taking some pictures of all of them

Sending prayers your way for a
speedy recovery.

Aww, thanks Steve! The stomach part isn't as bad now, it's the fever I'm battling with right now. The last time I checked, about an hour ago, it was 105 I haven't had a fever that high since I went to Red Lobster 10 years ago and got food poisoning from mozzarella sticks

[guidofatherof5]

105 is pretty high. A cool shower or bath may help.
Much higher and I would be very concerned.
Please be careful.

I've been taking fever reducers and that helped my 104.5 last night pretty quickly. It doesn't help that I heat up and cool down so quickly, because I've been wrapped in a blanket for the past 3 hours. If it does start shooting up again I'm going to take my behind to the hospital. Mostly because I have a spider bite also and if it's not the stomach bug, it's the bite.

If it might be the spider bite, Benadryl (Or the generic equivalent) should help with swelling and itching- reducing the swelling is often enough to allow improved blood flow so the body can take care of things itself.
Don't ignore danger signals, of course, but benadryl and warm compresses or warm soaks in soapy water (Yay hot baths!) can be very soothing and help things to clear up on their own more quickly.

I'm a beekeeper and I often have to deal with multiple annoying but not life-threatening bites and stings.

Another thing that really helps- If the sting or bite is fresh, meat tenderizer really does help denature the proteins in the venom. A slice of papaya will do the same, but enzyme based meat tenderizer is more concentrated and easier to keep on hand. (Tho the salt in it kinda sucks.)

[kibakiba]

Ouch! I couldn't put anything on this except witch hazel. I have severe allergies so I do tend to take things like benadryl on a frequent basis. It's not really itchy, ever since I got it it's been very sore. It's getting a lot better, though. It's starting to look more like "normal" but the skin is still... Yeah. It's really gross.

Wait sec. I lose track of who's who now and then but let me get this straight. You got bit by a spider, the wound is infected and you're running a high fever? Jeez, last time I had a temperature that was 104.7 I was hallucinating (from the high fever) I told you before, if you get a fever from that bite, or infection, (red and very painful) go to the hospital immediately!

I'm betting you did get infected with staph from the spider bite. Happens nearly every time. Once you develop a fever from the infection reaching your blood you need to hospitalized ASAP! No time to waste. Still wondering what the heck you were doing at home in that condition. It's life threatening. Heck, you can die from fever alone as high as it is.

I see your last post was the 21st. I'm hoping you got admitted to the hospital and that you recover. Hope you're OK.
