I'm working on a story about a new species of venomous spider which may be
present in northern California.  I want to hear from individuals who were
bitten by (probably) a spider and subsequently experienced a massive wound
which took months to heal.

I'm after people who never diswcovered the true insect that caused their
massive reaction.  Symptoms usually take a day or two to peak after a
bite, and may include extreme fever, hallucinations, and a necrotizing
wound which takes an extreme time to heal.  

I am primarily interested in people bitten in northern California within
the past five years.

Individuals who have had this experience or medical/entomological
professionals who may have something to contribute should e-mail me
directly at bashin@calweb.com to set up subsequent interviews.

Thanks for your assistance.
