I've had many instances where baboons have sprinted onto me. Never have I been bitten by a tarantula sitting or walking on me. I've had pokies sprinting around my body like the Indianapolis 500 yet I've never been bitten.  Asshat for attention??? Or pioneer showing you a different view??? Maybe you just have your blinders on and cant see the light???</blockquote>
