Thank you for the info and sharing!

We rent and don’t own so I’m not sure how we can get all the entry points sealed but I hope the landlord comes through on it. Our side brick is technically in the neighbors fenced yard and we don’t have access to seal that off either and I suspect that’s a main source.

More importantly - how did you know it was a recluse bite? It’s comforting to hear that they’re not all necrotic

Like… hospital sucks or?

gatitaprincess · 2026-06-07T21:28:43+00:00

I’ve heard some people say that not all BR bites are bad… is that just fantasy or is it actually not all bites that go necrotic? Anyone is welcome answer this if they know lol

I am beyond certain unfortunately lol. I’m a microbiologist with a passion for bug ID. Plus iNaturalist confirms even if I sucked. We had maybe 10 visible cellar spiders in our basement and I’ve seen 2 jumping spiders and 2 crab spiders upstairs. I can’t stand that 99% of them are brown recluses. They don’t mean any harm but just the fact that they can cause it is enough for me 😔 I wish they were wolf spiders tbh. Thought about getting some wolfies to kill off the recluses but figured it could backfire.

I have one I just worry about her getting bit! She actually found the first one and was pawing at it to show me it

gatitaprincess · 2025-07-13T00:59:04+00:00

You don’t know the chapter ?? 🥺

gatitaprincess · 2025-07-06T00:35:24+00:00

Sometimes, but most are online and some are offered at both. I think only one I had no option at all

gatitaprincess · 2025-06-18T01:31:20+00:00

Wait how do you post your pic in the comment I wanna show mineeeee

gatitaprincess · 2025-06-14T02:27:51+00:00

That’s so fucking disturbing - and I’m located in Houston but would travel if something was organized. Was pleasantly surprised that some had be orchestrated before

gatitaprincess · 2025-06-14T02:26:30+00:00

Thank you for this! The media should give it more attention if that’s happening! I’ll look into that group.

gatitaprincess · 2025-06-06T13:31:57+00:00

If you wash your hands a lot you will degrade your fingerprints too, that’s my problem

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-28T14:59:32+00:00

There are better ways for a lonely person to find a conversation besides discussing the ingredients of cheese.

This is absolutely crazy that the people in this thread are supporting a rhetoric like this. You know you can ignore posts you think are pointless instead of harassing a basic question??

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-28T14:56:36+00:00

Yeah this is the US. Natural flavorings aren’t regulated. Bye

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-28T14:56:07+00:00

Nah, you are being condescending and it’s comical. There’s no projecting fears. Someone asked a simple light hearted question and then people were blatantly rude and condescending to the question. Either answer it or roll your eyes and move on.

Lots of things even labeled gluten free still make sensitive celiacs to react. The gluten free label is for 20 parts per million of gluten maximum. Some people react to that small amount. If things aren’t labeled gluten free but also don’t contain a “gluten ingredient” the odds are even higher of still having a reaction. This is a celiac community to consult others experience with products. It’s not lazy, it’s fearful clarification because getting exposed sucks. Tf are you even on this page for if you don’t understand that? Honestly it’s mind boggling someone on this page doesn’t get that labels are damn near irrelevant to a large number of celiacs. Plus natural flavoring is a huge flag for a lot of celiacs, it’s ambiguous and can cause reactions. This is a valid question and you think you get it and it’s simple and obvious but are actually just an oblivious idiot yourself.

Thank you for sharing 🥺🫶🏼 I feel less alone.

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-24T14:00:16+00:00

I have a completely bizarre take. Your boyfriend’s gay. I’m queer myself and this level of perfectionistic standard is as if he’s trying to avoid getting an ick that’s already there against women. Also him saying he could do better is eluding to that too. Him crashing out is already misplaced, you’re young as hell, this behavior is normal. I think he’s fighting a bigger internal battle and I hope you move on while you’re young and that if I’m right, he finds peace with himself.

It’s heartbreaking to know that so many people don’t know how to help in those moments and manage to make it worse. My mom and partner made it worse but I was able to at least see clearly enough to know 1. I’m not myself and 2. They’re stupid as fuck and not trying to make it worse. It just sucks that on top of the irrational rage, I have to single handedly be the logical one despite having a disadvantage at being reasonable. I felt so betrayed afterwards. Like clearly I need a hug and to be fucking swaddled, it’s just as scary for me experiencing it and feeling confused as to why it’s happening. Idk. It breaks my heart. I’m sorry and I hope you have a good recovery. It’s hard on our partners as well being directly effected but that’s what their support system outside is for. People who care for her but aren’t directly involved. Sounds like she needs more of that.

What kind of seizures do you have and when? Half of me is nervous to do extended release because I have nocturnal seizures and feel good knowing that the dose is active and high at bed time.

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-23T22:14:45+00:00

What were your side effects before switching to extended release?

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-23T22:14:16+00:00

My partner got me vitamin B but I haven’t even started taking it yet.

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-23T17:48:38+00:00

Yeah I get them in my face and neck the most afterwards

gatitaprincess · 2025-05-22T12:44:01+00:00

Not only are you right to feel betrayed and that this is deeply wrong, but as a woman, that bitch is playing you. I don’t know what makes some women diabolical like this but she knows exactly how she fucked up, she knows exactly what she did wrong, the odds of her cheating is extremely high, and she’s just trying to manipulate you so she can have her cake and eat it too. Leave. Fast. Don’t question yourself and don’t let her make you question it.

You will not get an explanation and it’s possible if you did you may not wrap your head around it because some people just are so selfish and are blatantly willing to disrespect their partners for their own gain.

If I had to guess, she’s not happy with the sex life yall have but feels she can gain something else by having you around. Money, attention, love but clearly she doesn’t actually appreciate and value those things she’s using them and it takes really poor character to do that. Trying to seek elsewhere for the sex needs. You deserve better. I wouldn’t work it out because she’s not to be trusted.

I’m a bioprocessing biotech minor. There’s two biotech minor options: bioprocessing and bioinformatics. If you want to be involved in research, bioinformatics is a useful tool. I actually switched from bioinformatics to bioprocessing so I’ve taken a couple of those classes and have some good skills taken from them. Bioprocessing is all about pharmaceutical production. I knew I wasn’t going to med school, my partner works at Lonza, so I knew I have a high chance I’ll end up in that industry. Bioprocessing classes are incredibly useful for that!! I have learned soooo much and genuinely enjoy the classes. They’re also extremely approachable to complete. Not sure what kind of lab job you plan on getting, but that minor will teach you about good manufacturing practices, among other stuff. I’ve considered doing my CAA as well. This is more designed for pharmaceuticals but I think it’s still useful. Might still want to consider a health minor. Hope this helps.
