Camel Spider Bite: Wounds Blamed on Solifugids
A camel spider bite is a bite from a solifugid, an arachnid that is neither a true spider nor a scorpion. More than 1,000 species are found, mostly in hot deserts, and their bodies range from 1 to 10 centimeters long. Solifugids have no venom glands. Larger species can puncture and tear skin with their jaws, causing a painful wound that may develop a secondary infection. Claims that their venom contains an anesthetic and causes flesh and muscle to rot are myths. Other stories that they eat camels, scream, run at 25 mph or stalk people are also false. They may appear to pursue a person while following the person's moving shadow.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Camels spiders, right. Learn to research or at least google. They are also called Solifugae which will help with understanding this link. After reading about the urban legends, please notice the section on venom controversy.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solifugae#Urban_legends |

Re: Camel Spider Bite: Wounds Blamed on Solifugids
I did use Google. I originally found the pics looking for brown recluse, but knew they were not from a brown recluse, so I researched, and found the pics under camel spider. I never researched into what a camel spider was, because it is a common name used for them. After reading about the venom, I don't see your purpose in pointing it out. I never stated the stories, like one of the pics was 9 days after the bite. I appreciate your response, but I don't see why you pointed out the venom controversy to me.

Don't let yourself get annoyed by someone who doesn't proofread his posts... There is no such thing as a camels spider.  |

Re: Camel Spider Bite: Wounds Blamed on Solifugids
It can, it just takes a few days to take such effects. Basically, it is s cross of the venom and an infection. A lot of minor things like that can lead to massive infections really quick. I learned that from working at a fish market. One prick from a fish fin sent my sister to the hospital in less than 24 hours.
