Hey OP here, thanks for all the support guys. Luckily I didn't get into an accident. I was able to come out of the whole incident without a scratch but a massive itchy red welt. The doctor said I'll be fine in a few days time. :)

Poisonous??!
Yeah, some spiders are!
Maybe #1 was just trying to say that the spider was technically venomous, not poisonous. As far as I know, venomous things (like the spider) bite, sting, or otherwise inject their venom; poisonous things hurt you when you ingest them!
Poisonous!!!
I think I read that poisonous is when ingested OR touched.
I think you are right, #23. Either way we know what OP meant. :)
#33, No, you'd just be Bear Grylls.
Maybe poisonous will be our always
Oh my god! Who the hell cares???
Spiders are all venomous to some extent (or as OP says... Poisonous) so labeling them as such is rather redundant. Some of the less venomous spiders have a more "stinging" kind of bite that hurts right away. It hurts more but it does hardly any damage. Some of the more dangerous spiders will bite you and you will never know it even happened until 24 hours later when your skin starts turning black and caving in. It all depends on the venom and what it is designed to do. Some venoms are geared toward inflicting pain or nerve damage, some are necrotic (flesh rotting), some go after your blood and there are more still, and many are combo packs. I took a bite from a Woodlouse hunter and it stung like hell for an hour but that was the extent of the damage. I'll take that over a silent but deadly venom any day.

Yes 33, haven't you seen the tumblr post?
As it has promptly been said before..
That is dangerous one ;)
Oh, feel better dude! That must suck, but I hope you didn't manage to wipe out.
Obvious solution. Soak your helmet in raid before you ride, every time.
I've never had any insects in my helmet before.
I had a wasp fly into my helmet while riding. I had never pulled my helmet off so fast in my life. thankfully the impact knocked it unconscious and I wasn't stung.
or store your helmet better... it only takes one bite to learn a lesson...
Hahaha that would so work but smell bad man
They live for the thrill, man!
I hope you didn't have an accident. and I hope you're okay. nothing like pesky spiders to ruin the day.
