Critical Days of Summer
At Home and the Black Widow Spider
Description: The female is usually black with a red spot or hourglass-shaped mark on its round abdomen. The male usually has light streaks on its abdomen.
Habitat: Black widow spiders are common around wood piles, and are frequenly encountered when homeowners carry firewood into the house. Also found under eaves, in boxes, meter boxes and other unbothered places.
Type of Damage: The black widow is not aggressive. It will, however, bite instinctively when touched or pressed.
Control: Be very careful when working around areas where black widow spiders may be extablished. Take proper precautions-wear gloves and pay attention to where you are working. Black widow bites are sharp and painful and the victim should go to the doctor immediately for treatment.
Although venom is extremely potent, (15 times more potent than that of the rattlesnake) it is also reported to be much more potent than the venom of cobras and coral snakes. These spiders are not especially large.
Critical Days of Summer
Heat Indexes are really high right now. Here is a chart to explain what the temp actually feels like with a high heat index.
When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate of water is reduced. This means heat is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing it to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Take more breaks, use a cold wet cloth to keep you cool.
