Freakout

Today, while showering at my boyfriend's house early this morning, I saw a huge black spider on the wall. I'm allergic to spiders, so in my disorientation I ran out of the shower screaming, slipped, sprained my wrist, and bruised my tailbone. Turns out the spider was a clump of hair. My hair. FML

how can you be allergic to spiders?

Actually, you can be. I'm allergic to just about any type of insect/bug bite/sting. Spiders/mosquitoes/bees, etc. I'll swell up about 2-3x more than a "normal" person would, and the swelling will last for up to two weeks. First time I was bit by a horse fly, I was taken to a hospital.

Actually, contact with spiders can cause contact dermatitis (allergic skin reaction), and in addition the first case of respiratory allergy resulting from exposition to spiders has been described this february. Also, you can be allergis to spider venoms in general, since spider venoms are quite similar in composition. Please at least look things up before you start being rude

You're so allergic to spiders that the mere sight of one causes diorientation? over-react much?

why is it so hard to believe someone is allergic to spiders? i am. i found that out when i was younger and got bit by one. i had weird red lines running from it & it swelled up more than normal. so people seriously grow up and stop calling her a liar cause its really immature & you just make yourself look dumb.

OKAY. SAYING YOUR ALLERGIC TO SPIDERS IS LIKE SAYING THAT YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO CATS. you're not allergic to the CAT, your allergic to the saliva on its fur after it washes itself. so you can be allergic to 'spiders' meaning you have allergic reactions when bitten or extensive reactions that are very serious. so learn to look it up before you cmment.
