I think the point of the article (I need to see if I can find the link) was that recluses bites are much rarer than generally thought. > Brown recluse is very common in this part of Texas. They don't make good neighbors. <G> No, not at all. Sometimes they make good cat toys though... I'll never forget the time I was sitting on the couch and my cat, Oliver, was playing with something on the other side of the couch. He was having a wonderful time jumping around and pouncing. I thought he was playing with a rolled up piece of paper (his favorite toy) or a milk carton ring or something like that. Eventually, I looked over and he was playing with a huge brown recluse. He'd managed to rip off three of the things legs. I still can't believe he didn't get bitten. I managed to pull the cat away and kill the spider. It took a long time for the cat to calm down and relax from that hunter's high! - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
