Hey guys, I saw on Facebook today that Cip is in the hospital with a good dose of morphine due to a spider bite.
-
Hope you get to feeling better.
-
Ouch..Hope ya get better bud!
-
I think he's on the mend. He's been flooding his facebook page like a teenie-bopper ;) I talked to him yesterday and he figured he was running at about 70% capacity. He was in rough shape for a while though.

The spider bite wasn't all that serious, but his doctor immediately started him on a flush of antibiotics to make sure that he didn't rot a limb off. Well, it turns out that his body took offense at being offered help with fighting off an infection and it went into anaphylactic shock.
Yup, allergies can bite worse than spiders.
Apparently there were some very dopey pics taken of him while he was under powerful narcotics. I'm willing to take up a collection to buy these black market photos in order to post them online as a sort of "this could happen to you" situation. Certainly not to embarrass poor Cipriano, oh no! Anyone wanna pitch in???

With all the critters he has been catching lately he was lucky it was a spider that bit him.
Get well soon!

Clint, I thought the same thing. Cip being the guy who post a storage tote of live rattler video on FB. I would have thought a spider bite would have been the least of his worries.

Cip: Spiders scare me worse than grizzlies. They have some monsters sized spiders in Namibia. Sure hope you are on the mend! Joe

Cip, said tomorrow they are testing him for West Nile, and Lyme Disease. I guess they think its a could be more than a spider bite. :-\
I had Lyme years ago the meds are as bad on ya as the disease.
-
Been praying for you bro, hope your better quick.

I had Lyme Disease about a month ago, the antibiotics they give you for it will tear you up.

Cip if it is Lyme check out something called ABART. Its a tincture that my doc gave me, along with the traditional antibiotic treatment. I found it as effective as the antib's and easier on the system.
I had Lyme really bad for several years. Made a big impact in my life, but also some really positive things as well. Anyway, hope you get better soon brother.

Eddie, thank you for posting this. It's been kind of a a roller coaster ride. On a Thursday night I noticed the bite behind my shin above the ankle on my right leg. Friday I went to the doctor and was given Bactrim twice a day. It was a heavy dose. May Friday the dime sized area had grown considerably, was leaking pus, was tender and the doc said had developed cellulitis.
I took on pill after the appointment and one that night. When I woke up Saturday morning I was cold, had the chills, cold sweats, pounding headache, body aches, dry mouth, thirsty, difficulty breathing, unsteady, upset stomach, and my ears hurt. I had only felt this way when I was a kid and went into shock from losing too much blood from a cut.
My wife took me to the ER and they did a KEG, cheat x-rays, sonogram, ran blood work and gave me morphine. The doctor couldn't find a thing wrong with me and sent me home. She said she had more questions than answers.
The next few days I had blood in my urine and felt like I had the flu without having it. Worst part had been extreme fatigue and feeling weak. Blood work from ER all came back normal. I went back to the doctor and they checked for west Nile and Lyme disease as well as my kidneys. I'm still waiting in those results.
So far I really don't know what causes what, but I'm thinking it was a severe allergic reaction to the Bactrim.
Two days ago I felt almost normal, but yesterday I felt shaky and just not right. Still get cold sweats from time to time.
Thank you all for the thoughts, prayers and well wishes. They are much appreciated!!
