For many, spiders are the stuff of nightmares: creepy, crawly, sinister creatures that sneak into homes and lurk about in the night. The fear of spiders is called arachnophobia, and it is one of the top ten phobias experienced around the world.

In reality, most spiders do not pose a threat to humans. While the majority of the 20,000 species found in the United States ARE venomous, most spiders only bite in self-defense and cannot penetrate human skin. Even then, most spiders aren’t capable of injecting enough venom to warrant medical intervention and of those that can, fatal cases are rare.   Continue reading “Identifying and Treating Spider Bites”

For several decades, thousands of Americans — some of them religious extremists, some ethnic supremacists and most believing that they have God on their side — have been traveling to the Middle East to fight in a foreign army notorious for committing war crimes and abusing human rights.

Americans are free to join the Israel Defense Forces so long as Israel does not declare war on the United States. There is no law that stands in the way of this kind of foreign military enrollment, even though some radicalized Americans who have followed this path went on to become terrorists.    Continue reading “Holder pushes for witch-hunt against potential terrorists”

Yup, that appears to be a picture of the adorably whiskered face of a rat (mouse?) poking out of someone’s wrap sandwich from Chop’t. Forest Hills dweller Steven Henderson Tweeted the above photo earlier this afternoon after a colleague allegedly found the unwelcome ingredient guest inside their sandwich after they’d already taken a bite.

How many are there of all of us?…Take it, bitch. Take it…”   Continue reading “Anti-Israel Protesters Threaten Pro-Israel Demonstrators in SF”
