At the last WM meeting, we discussed black widow spider bites.  Carl was kind enough to pull a great paper looking at the symptoms observed by a group that saw at 136 such envenomations.  The paper can be found here:

Carl was also kind enough to put together a nice short review of that paper.  You can look at that as well below.

I hope you all find this stuff interesting and get a chance to read about it if you missed the meeting.  Next post will come from Andrew Kopping and talk about snake envenomations.  Will post that one soon.
