Talk:Cheiracanthium

message: Currently "Yellow sac spider" redirects to C. inclusum while "Yellow sack spider" redirects to C. punctorium. C. mildei is also sometimes called "yellow sac spider," in fact that name is applied to many of the Cheiracanthium species. To avoid confusion I have redirected both yellow sac spider and yellow sack spider to the Cheiracanthium page, where it states that "certain species are commonly called yellow sac spider."--71.112.159.122 (talk) 15:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Couple of times i've had these drop down on a line as I walked under them, as if they were trying to attack me

thread_title:  Aggressive? 

message: After editing that section and noticing that a few other people are working on it as well (since this is "breaking news"), I have to wonder if it is actually encyclopedic. It just seems somewhat out of place that a huge chunk of this article is now about the Mazda recall. Perhaps it just seems that way since the article is really just a stub otherwise... I lean towards this NOT being encyclopedic; really, the only reason it's interesting is that it is odd news. Thoughts? Flodded (talk) 00:31, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you made some good points. I mostly agree with your "stub" point, and I would add that it is an excellent stub. Note that Mazda doesn't think it's just "odd news"....... 66,000!!! 75.47.137.159 (talk) 04:52, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with Flodded.  To throw out some alphabet soup: WP:NNC, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:RECENT, WP:UNDUE.  WP:NNC would suggest that this is notable for the Mazda6 article, but not for the spider article.  If there are any difference of opinion, I usually leave the content for a few weeks, then remove it per WP:BRD.  If no  one restores it then the recentness has worn off and it can be forgotten, which is what usually happens. --64.85.220.104 (talk) 13:06, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Necrosis 

message: I have been bitten about a half dozen times by these spiders in California and one time I was in the hospital for a week. It was not MRSA related. The most recent was a week ago. Everytime I caught the spider. The doctor explained to me other than my sensitivity to most insect venom, in the case of the yellow sac it was a secondary infection because of the bite. Though this doctor has not followed up on it he suspects there may be a particular strain of bacteria living on the spider. It is also possible these spiders control the amount of venom Which would explain why some have nenecrosis. To me because of my sensitivity it packs quite a punch. I have also been bitten by a Black Widow and that earned me nearly a month in the hospital and major surgery.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.107.124 (talk) 03:38, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
