A guy in Omaha, Nebraska named Dylan Baumann, who lives in a small studio apartment, came home one day to find 40 spiders "crawling across my walls, crawling along my floorboards, and crawling by my foot." And these weren't your simple little Daddy Long Legs kind of spiders. Nosiree...these were venomous Brown Recluse spiders.
OK, now if that wasn't creepy enough for the spider averse, here's how the guy deals with his new house guests:
"It's mainly just learning to cope with them. Pushing your bed away from the wall, pulling out your bed skirt, making sure nothing is touching walls, shaking off your clothes before you put them on, after you get out of the shower, shake out your towel, knock out your shoes at night. It's just kind of learning to not get bit."
I don't have arachnophobia. Big, small, they normally just don't bother me, but my IQ did make it into double digits. Listen to me Dylan....these are BROWN RECLUSE spiders! They're like the rattlesnakes or the great white sharks or the Nancy Pelosi's of Phylum Arthropodia. ABANDON SHIP DUDE! MOVE! Now.
Jeez...I hope this didn't scare anyone. ;)
