Spider Bite Or Just A Scratch

But I should probably take more of an interest, because a mom in the medical questions group was concerned that her son might have been bitten by a brown recluse spider. Yikes! I looked it up and found spider bites are a lot more common than I thought. The brown recluse is just one of several poisonous spiders in the U.S., the other one being the infamous black widow. Turns out it was a false alarm; the mom’s son had an infected cut and was treated for it....

The Surprising Age When Divorce Hurts Most

In fact, people between the ages of 35 and 41 reported more health problems following their divorce than those who got divorced in the 44 to 50 age range as compared to people the same age who stayed married.
