I can't recall how long it was after we got back, but it ruptured, and he said hundreds of tiny spiders burst out of his wound-running off in all directions. I'm not terribly afraid of spiders, but that one freaked me out.

OMG! Is that story real?!?!?! I HATE spiders. You'd THINK they'd run the other direction when they'd see someone approaching. I had one come AT me in the bathroom. Ugly.
