Just a normal Scandinavian garden spider who got irritated about me invading her nice home - even if it was in the engine compartment of my new 924
How old are you? Some of these insiduous little bites can take years to manifest the symptoms. If you are, say, 40-50 years old, it may be 30-40 years before the symptoms become readily apparent. You'll know it was that goddamn little spider when your hair is all gray and/or falling out, your skin is all wrinkled, your hearing starts to go, you have unexplained little aches and pains, and that sort of thing. Death typically follows the onset of these symptoms. You'll even see your friends and family dying around you; they were bitten by spiders, too. It's ugly. There is no escape. You're doomed.
