Yeah, I can picture that! Sorry to laught at your misfortune, but it is a humorous story this long removed.
I experienced a bit of cognitive dissonance with any of my negative insect related experiences. I'm awed by Nature, wowed by the individual observations, and can separate that almost completely from any natural feelings of revulsion or fear. So I would hyperventilate a little at the idea of going barefoot in my cracker back yard after the velvet ant bite, and for a brief moment think I should asphalt the entire thing, but my earth mother nature would relish the fragile ecosystem. Very odd position to be in.
It's the same hearing about your ginormous spider experience. Fascinating and curious, but I can empathize with your fear as well.
Okay someone tell a good bug story. Cloud's experiences and mine are fine, but yours will add another dimension, nu?
