I live in Australia and I have had a few unfortunate run ins with the local wildlife\n1 bitten on the backside by a red back spider while on the toilet at a nature reserve.  Time spent in hospital 30 minutes getting a shot.\n2 kicked in the back by a kangaroo while drunk at chrismas BBQ no time in hospital but pride completely shattered\n3 stepped on crown of thorns starfish.  Time in hospital 1 day. but I was unable to walk properly for about 2 to 3 months.  The shape of the nails on my left foot have changed slightly.  Interestingly if you are ever unfortunate enough to step on one of these abominations flip it over and place whatever body part was stung over it's mouth and it will suck it's own poison out\n4 attacked by emu at wildlife reserve.  My brother put seed in my hair and the Emu proceeded to peck the hell out of my head.  Recently re-assembled pride destroyed again, No time in hospital but I have a few scars, emotional as well as physical.

Hmm, I have seen alot of parks with them.. Maybe because they were too dangerous.

No, but nearly had my head taken off by a clothesline.  Riding a dirt-bike in the yard, didn't realize foster-mom had strung a line between the orange trees, saw it a half-second before I hit it.  Had just enough time to raise up off the seat, causing it to strike me across the chest and upper arms instead of the neck.  Snatched me off the bike quicker than lickity-split too (and left a nasty welt as well).

I was living in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. Met awesome sexy beautiful woman. Was super eager to get together with her. My fly was stuck. I reefed it down then pulled up. Eeeeeeeeeeek! Blood was pulsating out of me. She was freaked(as was I ). No stitches. A superficial wound.It was still awful when they untangled me at the hospital.\nThe worst part was everyone in the building knew what happened.Including her man.\nHer boyfriend broke my nose and shattered my right orbital bone. Which I think was a lot worse, almost.

yes I have, but I was deer hunting.  I had an 8-point out in front of me and some s.o.b pulls up in the field , chases off the deer, just as I am about to shoot.  Man, he pissed me off.  Then he tries to tell me how hunting is wrong, and on top of that, it was private land!

Three years age when I was working in Mexico, I was attack by africanized honey bees, I was stung over 1000 times.  I only remained concious for the first few minutes, but I remember it was excurciating, like a raging fire cooking you from the inside, I feel unconscious, luckily my crew was near by, and managed to slow the onslaught with a fire hose, got a fireblanket on me.  I was one life support for 4 weeks and comatose for 6 months.  I swole to 3 times my normal size and had bites everywhere, mostly arms, neck, face, back, but also had bites in the crack of my as*, and other nether regions.  My ears are still sensitive 3 years later.  The pictures were truly disgusting.  I would have to say that was the worst thing that has stung me.  When working in Africa I was bitten by a baby horned viper, right on my the meat of my thumb, that also hurt pretty good, swole up, turned blue/black, was tender for a while, made sick for a few days, but I don't know if it was the bite or the anti-venom that did that.  But it was a candle to a bon fire compared to the Bees.

You know what... They couldn't pay me enough to eat one of those bugs, that's absolutely repulsive. I'd probably have PTSD for YEARS just from that experience alone. As for the other stunts, i'd probably have a heart attack in the process of participating in one. Lmao.

A spider damn near killed me. I was nineteen, and had gone from being super-fit, to contracting rheumatic fever that made me seriously ill, not too far from pegging out.  About two weeks after, still house-bound, I managed to stagger down the stairs to the bathroom, feeling very ill, with a slow, weak pulse and very low blood-pressure.  I wanted to use the toilet, but first wanted to splash my face and rinse my mouth.  I leant over the basin, and WAAAAH! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING! My heart rate jumped to about 200beats a minute, instantly, I staggered, felt a terrible chest pain, and fell over backwards, hitting my head on the wall. Nice.\n  Another time, in Australia, getting some tables out of a friends garage, my eyes were struggling in the gloom with what appeared to be eight-fingered Workman's gloves, slowly moving on the floor... HOLY CRAP THEY'RE ALIVE!!! I was out of there instantly.  They were Huntsman spiders, known for descending onto birds' nests in trees, and eating young chicks! Vile, leathery-bodied freaks that actually drag their centres around, they seem too big and heavy to actually walk on their legs.\nYuck!

A friend had one on her leg, and could barely walk. She thought it was a spider bite or something. She said it was very painful. But they just numbed it, cut and drained it, and gave her some antibiotics.

Any animal will bite if scared or angry.  They don't do it vindictively, they are just protecting themselves like they would in the wild.

I had a close encounter many years ago, when I was a boy scout and having field camp in school. It happen to be a thunderstorm and I was walking in an open field with an unbrella when I felt my hairs standing on end. Next thing I knew, lightning struck a metal fence some 15 feet away. I was shocked by this, but felt nothing and continued my way to the nearest shelter!\nSo the next time I feel a build up of static electricity around me, I am going to run into the nearest building I can find. Especially on a rainy day.
