LOL...wimp.

 

We had a guy get a camel spider on his ass cheek in Storm...due to the lack of showers for field units, he didn't know about it for about a month (don't ask me why the fucker didn't at least wet up a washcloth and sponge his nasty ass off in that time...I dunno). But anyhow, by the time he noticed it, and panicked, he had a pit in his ass cheek that you could hide a tennis ball in....now THAT was nasty.

 

For those who don't know, camel spiders are one of the species that anesthesize with their bite, and then eat the meat on their victims. They like to live on the rats, dogs, camels, and sheep out there in the Saudi peninsula, and similar areas. Ol' boy had a NASTY infection going by the time they sent him home for medical reasons.

ITS MONKEY!

Yeah sp0rk, you'd think so...I can;t, to this day, figure out how he didn't notice SOMETHING...like he didn't feel the unpadded seats in the back of the Brad when we were on route march..or that he seemed to sit lopsided, or that it was suddenly easier to wipe his asshole after a shit than before...SOMETHING.

 

But this was a big, dumb (box of rocks dumb), Arkansas boy, who was proud of being from "Bald Knob, Arkansaw"...He stood about 6'5", weighed about 240 pounds, and could have lost a battle of wits with a treestump.

 

Wasn't the only fun he supplied us while he was out there with us, either...lol...dumbfuck managed to get into more stupidity induced trouble than any three people I've ever met.

Are you sure about that Psychobud?

 

Camel Spiders: The Official Arachnids of Gulf War II

 

 

 

April 7, 2003

 

With the war on, we expected to get searches for different kinds of military hardware. We expected searches for the nations of the Middle East. We expected searches for war news and pictures. But we had a hard time figuring out what was the reason for a very odd term that showed up in the middle of last week: camel spiders.

 

Looks like this was the big war-related April Fool of 2003. No, there really is such an animal as the camel spider, but its powers of ingestion have been highly exaggerated. An email was going around the Internet last week that claimed that the troops in Iraq were encountering camel spiders and discovering all kinds of amazing facts about the creatures.

 

They run over 25 miles per hour. They make squealing noises like a child screaming when they scamper about. Worst of all, they are called "camel spiders" because they climb onto the bellies of camels and eat their stomachs from the outside, numbing the flesh by secreting a natural anesthetic. The camels don't even notice until their intestines fall out.

 

None of which is true.

Desert camel spiders create ‘urban legends’

by Senior Airman Grace Hall

379th Expeditionary Medical Group Public Health

07/26/02 - OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (AFPN) -- Many people deployed for the war on terrorism have heard of the dreaded camel spider and how this monster-of-a-creature can viciously attack everything in its path.

 

Stories even exist of camel spiders eating people’s flesh in the middle of the night without them noticing until they wake up.

 

Unfortunately, these “urban legends” are what most people believe. Few actually know what the camel spider is truly like.

 

The name “camel spider” is not entirely accurate. They are not exactly spiders; they are solifugids -- sort of a cross between a spider and a scorpion. They vary in size, between 1 to 6 inches, depending on the species, sex or age.

 

They do not spin webs and most types (more than 500 species) do not have venom. There is one species that may live in the Southwest Asia area that has a type of venom that causes temporary paralysis in the victim. All species have four pincer-like jaws used for crushing prey. The main risks presented by camel spider bites are shock or infection.

 

Despite their fearsome appearance and strong bite, camel spiders are unlikely to harm humans. Generally, they prefer to stay away from people. So, they are not likely to make a meal out of someone; however, if they are backed into a corner or feel threatened, they will aggressively fight back.

 

Although they only use three of their four pairs of legs for running, camel spiders are one of the fastest running arthropods and can reach speeds up to 10 mph. They rely on this speed to catch prey.

 

Oftentimes, people only catch a glimpse of the camel spider as it dashes across the desert floor in search of food. They feed on other spiders, scorpions, lizards, mice and some small birds. Once they have caught their prey, they use their crushing jaws to kill it.

 

Camel spiders are nocturnal predators coming out primarily at night in search of food. They are attracted to light and will appear most frequently on roads or paths. During the day, camel spiders spend most of their time hiding in burrows or under objects looking for shade.

 

When they do come out during the day, camel spiders avoid the heat by running from shadow to shadow, even if it belongs to a human. If a camel spider runs toward a person’s shadow and he or she tries to run away, the spider will chase the shadow. So, it appears to be chasing people when it is actually not.

 

If people see a camel spider, do not try to get rid of it themselves, said officials with 379th Expeditionary Medical Group public health section at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. The spider will move on its own; camel spiders do not spend much time in one place.

 

Chemicals such as bug sprays are not recommended as they most likely will do nothing but make the spider angry, said officials.

 

Officials also warn against trying to capture a camel spider to serve as a pet or mascot. Avoidance is the key.

Techno...camel spiders are one of those varieties that inject an anesthesizing venom...you DON'T feel when they bite.

 

The dumbass arkansawyer wasn't the only one to get bit by one...he was just the only one nasty enough to not wash well enough to notice it for a long while.

 

I saw camels and dogs out there with huge pits on them where a camel spider was living, and I got one on my arm...I went to sleep with no markings, and woke up with what looked like a cigarette burn on my forearm, with a smallish tan spider sitting in it. Didn't feel a goddamned thing, tho, until after I killed the spider, and the venom wore off...then it felt like any other torn open blister, or other open wound, I've ever had.

 

I'll see if I can dig up some .edu entomology paper on them and link you.

 

 

Anyhow, what was funny about this was the dumbass was nasty and dirty enough to lose a good portion of an ass cheek to it...and it was a NASTY wound, too.

We were told these spiders usually stay on their "host" until infection kills them, or, in the case of smaller rodents, the spider eats into an organ or something of the sort (dunno how true that is, but it's what were were told).

 

 

Delphy..I dunno if it was really a "camel spider"...that's what the medic told him, and we were warned about watching for. I know that in my case, a small tan spider (about 1/8" across the abdomen) was in the middle of the wound. I know that Smitty had this bigass pit in his ass cheek that he didn't know about until we hit a shower point, and someone else noticed it as he was getting into the shower([edit] what the fuck was another Army dude doing checking his ass out at the shower point, anyhow? This just occurred to me). I know the medic claimed both of these wounds, and several others like them, but more on the scale of mine, were caused by "camel spiders", and that we had had lectures before deploying from Al Khobar Towers into the field about such critters, complete with slides, along with the lectures about nerve gas, and other chem agents, trench foot, trench mouth, and all sorts of other problems common to soldiers in desert duty.

 

I never hard these things were especially fast, never heard they made noise of any sort, or about the camel belly thing.

 

Who knows what kind of spider it really was..I don't...but I DO know what I saw, and was told. For all I know it may have been a relative of the recluse and hobo spiders of America and Mexico, but one that anesthesizes the wounds it creates...Now that you got me wondering, I'll find out for certain, though :)

 

Like I told techno, I'll see if I can find a reliable .edu site that describes them properly and documents them for ya'll.

is that like actual size? if so, id take an axe to it after screaming like a little girl from the first sight of the mother fucker...

 

/me shivers
