How do they let that stuff grow that huge! Mine was red and swollen up 5 inches in diameter with a centimeter in diameter white dot and I could barely walk on my leg and breathing like crazy.... Hobo spiders are some scary stuff...

And I actually like spiders. But some of them can inflict a nasty wound. An old girlfriend was bitten by a brown recluse on the thigh and despite numerous surgeries still has a nasty scar to remember it by.

Eek! One source said a bite could result in a bit of itching and redness.

Not for this guy!

Oh my God, that's unreal how a wee spider can cause such shocking damage.
