Important advice

[underfoot]

for those of you that use powered mask respirators
(you know, the ones with the full face helmet and the filter and power pack
on a belt)

HINT..... check air hose for HUUUGE huntsman spiders before use!

TIP....... when one drops onto your face when you have the mask on,
don't squeal like a girl and hit the face plate,

it just makes em cranky

by the time i finished my last response, you had posted this and now I look like I have been crying, i laughed so much...

(it was more the way you just narrated that story, very funny)

Had amotorbike rider tell of similar story with a bee inside his helmet, while taking on a fast left hand sweeping bend. Very funny to listen to his laconic telling of the story but I'll bet the incident was no joke at the time!

Oh yeah, bin there done that. Not at all funny

Close encounter while moving at high speed definately not funny. But huntsman in the dust mask.

We currently have a huntsman wandering around our lounge room. Spot him every morning in a different spot. Small boy has dubbed him Harry the Hairy huntsman. Just hope he doesn't land on his breakfast one morning and give him phobia.

I had my wife crying from try to hold the laughs in, but at the same time her skin was also crawling.


(She hates the critters - if there's one in the house i try and make sure she doesn't see it, otherwise if I'm not there and she sees it she'll kill it, or if i am I get told to take it outside to the other side of the road, which I don't do.)

Waldo- If you really want to make her skin crawl, about 20 years ago, a girl I was working with, came to work with a lump and nasty bruise on her cheek about the diameter of a tennis ball and about 4cm high.

This is the story she gave as best I can remember it.

"I was getting ready for bed and I'd just put my pyjamas on. I turned off the light and lay down on my bed. Suddenly I felt a stabbing pain in my cheek. I reached up and there was a THING on my cheek. I screamed, ripped it off and threw it to the floor and ran for the bedroom light. It was a huntsman spider and I'd trapped it on my pillow with my face so it bit me.

My mum took me to the hospital and by the time I got there I had a lump the size of a mandarin on my cheek. The doctor told me that huntsmen aren't poisonous and the lump would eventually go away but I wanted the lump gone, so the doctor had me strapped down, a nurse held my head and the doctor used his palm heels to push what seemed to be a litre of brown goo out of my face."

I can tell you, it took me over two years to stop checking my pillow before I lay down on it. Even today, I can't bear to let a huntsman go for a wander around my home.
