Fangs for the memory....
When going to the shower on holiday, don’t do the usual male thing of flinging off your clothes and letting them stay where they land. I did this on one hot evening, I’ll never do it again! Don’t get me wrong, the shower was very refreshing. Putting my boxers on afterwards was not. After finishing my shower I dried off, and walked back to the bedroom picking up items on the way. As it was a warm Greecian evening ( they all were ) I just put on my boxers and relaxed on the bed to read a mag I’d picked up at the airport..
OWWW! The pain in my nether regions was as if someone had grabbed hold of a bunch of hairs and pulled hard, OWWW! Again, another clump of hairs ripped out!
Then the burning sensation kicked in... I jumped up and stepped out of my undies in one smooth chipandaleian move, only to see a small – now dead – spider fall from the crotch of my undies! Checking myself over I found two bite marks on my family jewels, and quickly smothered them with lots of cooling anti-histamine cream. After a run in with a local snake I’d picked up a book on the local wild life, it listed things that could kill you… Examining the remains of my tiny adversary, the book described it as just a 'common' spider.
Anything that bites you there is very Common. I will no longer just dump stuff on the bedroom floor and I’ll now give all clothes a good shake before putting them on. :-(
