When on holiday in oz few years back there was a huge spider on the wall which I was told not to kill as it was a good one and ate the bad ones, it was also just a baby I was informed, didn’t look like one to me as it was near the size of my hand!!! didn’t sleep at all that night...

I thought looking at pictures of clostridial gas gangrene complicating a compound fracture were awful but the Brown Recluse arachnid is worse.
In my close proximity the spider get a heavy whack of my shoe.

Please spare the spiders in the UK - they eat all those 'orrible flies for us!
UK spiders can't bite (humans) apart from the woodlice- eating spider which needs to be able to penetrate their tough 'skin'. One had a nip at my daughter a few weeks ago. Hurt a little bit but nothing unbearable. And it'a v.rare thing.

Okey doke Sisyphus, !
You have reassured me now.
I will guide them into the garden.
P.S
I watched a film once called Arachnaphobia, it sort of put me off the 8 legged things.
