Hobo Spider Bite!

Hobo Spider Bite!

Whatever you do, don’t get a Hobo spider bite…

The hobo spider (Tegenaria agrestis) is a member of the genus of spiders known colloquially as funnel web spiders. It is one of a small number of spiders in North America whose bites are generally considered to be medically significant. Individuals construct a funnel-shaped structure of silk sheeting and lie in wait at the small end of the funnel for prey insects to blunder onto their webs. Hobo spiders sometimes build their webs in or around human habitations. Although this species of spider has a reputation for aggressiveness, they will normally avoid contact with humans.

    I recongnize the inflamation. That is a spider bite but not a hobo spider bite. Hobo spider bites does not look that gruesome. That is a Brown Recluse Bite.

    lol you both are wrong. its a digitally manipulated photo. if you examine it closely you can see errors in the blending. human skin doesn’t have errors in pigmentation such as a mistake in a manip.

    that looks totally sick, but i will make sure not to get near any spiders, brown recluse, hobo or otherwise. If it is manipulated then whatever suits your fancy. More power to you.

    Funny that you say that it’s a digitally manipulated photo when it’s a documented case of a brown recluse bite w/ multiple photos of it. Different angles and the days leading up to that state. Everything isn’t photoshopped, rookies.

    That is a picture of my hand. It was taken a while ago, and is pretty much healed by now, except for a nasty scar. I'm willing to answer some questions about it if you guys want.
