Holy Cr@p that is one huge bite, poor thing.

Poor woman. I assume that takes some time to heal. I hope some of the tissue isn't permanently damaged.

Gee, if she wanted to hallucinate, she should have licked a frog instead!

sorry, lol

It's a tossup between Brown Recluse, and Black Widow spiders, as to which can cause the most harm. We get both in our area, and I'm always a bit cautious when reaching into any somewhat hidden areas in my workshop.

Wow! That's just crazy. Wonder what's the odds of getting bit on the upper lip like that
Hope she recovers without permanent disfigurement.

I got bit 10 times on my right knee while sleeping last week. Thankfully our spiders are as big as flees.
