Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

spider bite question and help in identifying spider
Are there any spider bite kits available like there are snake bite kits? The reason I'm asking is because our exterminator warned us about banana spiders that migrate from South America and are known to hide in bananas; and if you get bit by one, you've only got seven minutes to live. Also, I've seen this one creature that looks like a spider. It's greyish brown in color, and it's maybe an inch or longer, and it looks like a crab spider except it always seems to move sideways. Can anyone tell me what kind that is? I don't have a way of taking a picture of any because I never know when one will show up. Finally, I've heard that Brazilian wandering spiders cause painful erections for males if they get by one; but what does a girl experience if she gets bit?
God bless, Jason Irelan

That's pretty specific, and a search turned up info, but I have not seen the 7 minute warning anywhere else. Were it true, the alleged exterminator would have given you some info as to how he/she would deal with a bite. Great conversation starter though. http://www.planetdeadly.com/animals/...gerous-spiders

Does that mean they don't have spider bite kits like there are snake bite kits? I absolutely can't stand spiders, but I'm more fond of snakes.
