[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 224674, member: 29323"] It could have been plant sap or any number of different creepy crawlies. Although I have heard you have the False Red Barron Spider in the Bristol area now. This has a leg span of around 1 meter, or just under 3 feet if you prefer & it has the habit. Scientists tells us. Of hiding in undergrowth & then silently & invisibly attacking with total ferocity anyone who dares to disturb it. The venom is said to be similar to a Black Mamber snakes & limbs are known to drop off after exhibiting a red area similar to yours. Although some do manage to keep all their limbs during the few minutes prior to death from such a bite, so don't worry too much. :beer: :T: [/QUOTE]
