...Snakes and Spiders and Biting B......s

......

Yes, sadly they are all around us and at times I think they are looking for me, because when ever I venture out to a stream or lake, they are looking.

Just lying there waiting to frighten the f....s.... out of me and the only positive thing is it blows all the cholesterol out of every vein and artery in my system.

So I decided to try and understand these rather unpleasent creatures, and my biggest discovery was that not many people die from a Black Snake bite, big deal, how many die of a heart attack before the poison kills them, this I couldn't find out.

Spiders, nobody talks of these 'things and the same about a number of unfriendly biters. Why?

The best over all view of information for Australia in general terms was collected from these 2 great sites.

To all outdoor people and really all people you should click on these sites and read.

Now the next time a Black b..... snake strikes me, I will feel a lot better and won't have to clean my jeans, or a Funnel Web hangs of my finger, I won't say O' f......., In fact I will just smile and say all the above out very load.

And I try not to remember the events, as both of these 'things' have happened to me.

Rather unpleasent, this one, it is a Tiger.

Good looking Huntsmen Spider in the image above, BUT its a fake, its a fly from Mr 2 Hook 1 !

And these carry all sorts of nasty things
