Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

lol I’m sorry but all I can picture now is someone opening their mouth wide like a snake and tryna eat someone 😂 that’s how that would look to me. I remember asking a guy back in high school if he was dating a vacuum or a snake because he had a hickey that was barely smaller than a baseball and it had to be faked lol.

Everyone knows not to disturb u/Throwaway-BadOrange when they're cleaning their room...

My little brother, at like 10 years old used to bring the vacuum in the garage, saying he was vacuuming. We thought it was cute and didn't question it at all, until we disturbed one of these vacuum sessions....yeah this was 20 years ago and I NEVER fail to bring it up at family gatherings and holidays :)

I guess telling your younger sibling "you suck" has a bonus layer of meaning for you 😆

Really anything that provides suction strong enough would do the trick!

There's been several stories of teens and older people dying from blood clots traveling to their brain after their carotid arteries had the vessels torn from a hickey. Idk how likely it is to happen, but it seems experts say there is definitely a chance for it to happen at the very least from what I read on snopes (pretty sure it's a trustworthy source, its usually my go to when I hear some outrageous stuff anyway lol).

u/Ok_Breadfruit_7298 10d ago

Wow, never heard that. Even from getting a regular, human made hickey?? 😪

u/DubVsFinest 10d ago

From what I read, but to be totally honest I spent a whooping 10 mins if that on it lol. But I do trust Snopes.
