Well it was common knowledge all through my childhood that they were very poisonous and caused horrible things to happen to your skin.. But over the last few years they have been debating whether or not the bites are that bad, and if some people were just more alergic to the bite than others...

I must say that the ones under my bed were no where near that size. It's just the start of summer here so most i've seen were around the size of a fingernail.. But within a few months of summer, they will get to the size in the pictures and be very dangerous.. The night I found them though, I layed in the exact centre of my bed with the light on all night, and tried to open my eyes every minute while I slept to make sure they were not coming up the walls.. It was a long night, but I havn't seen any in a week.
