Well, I am just getting over my 39th, (I KID YOU NOT!!) Red back bite. I swear I'm a magnet for the rotten little *$#^ers.

When I was a kid, they just burned like hell for a while but now I get vicious palpitations and at least a day of vomiting. I suspect my immune system is breaking down under the load of venom... or maybe its excess Scotch...
