With the weather warming up the spider population will soon be out in full force. Contrary to what Hollywood movies may have led you to believe, not all spider bites will have you turning into a superhero ala Spiderman, as the photos I received in my inbox today will attest. These pictures are not for the faint-hearted, and could make for excellent 'Shock Docs' material. Whether they have been 'photoshopped' or not, I'm not really sure. The one thing I am sure about though is that I'm damn glad I wasn't eating when I checked my email this morning!

If there is a moral to this story then it is, try not to get bitten by spiders.
