What the troops are dealing with... Created 20 years ago2004-04-29 10:53:32 UTC by Jahzel

Recently, a US soldier got bit by a Cammel Spider in his sleeping bag. If you want to know what one is:

Camel spiders can grow to be as large as dinner plates.

Camel spiders can traverse desert sand at speeds up to 25 MPH, making screaming noises as they run.

Camel spiders can jump several feet in the air.

Camel spiders eat the stomachs of camels, hence the name "camel spider." (Legend includes the detail that camel spiders eat camel stomachs from either the outside in or the inside out. In the former case they supposedly jump up from the ground and grab onto camels' bellies from underneath; in the latter case exactly how spiders allegedly as large as dinner plates get into camels' stomachs intact remains unexplained.)

Camel spiders are venomous, and their venom contains a powerful anesthetic that numbs their victims (thus allowing them to gnaw away at living, immobilized animals without being noticed). U.S. soldiers were said to have been attacked by camel spiders at night but remained completely unaware of their plight until they awakened in the morning to find chunks of their flesh missing.

tough luck. Too bad the image isnt working.

Oh well. Check this out instead::

You'll find the image there. Actually, it's probably best that the picture didnt load, I nearly threw up!

that guy is a freak

Aaauch! Now that would hurt!

The man wasn't poisoned or something like that?

omg! what if that was on your face!?!?!!?! (sick thought with a picture... ieatmonkeychow beats himself in the head until the image was gone ahhh... there we go!)

lol

It is pretty grim, but apparently, the whole god damn thing is just an urban legend! I saw on this site 'the experts' view, and he said that it is basically all a load of bollocks and that the camel spider does not eat flesh, does not have venom, does not run that fast and make screaming noises, and that the photo is exaggerated because if you look closely you'll see that the spiders are infact quite close to the camera (look at the guys sleeve in the foreground). But! what these sickos are said to do is steal bits of hair of animals for their nest etc, that includes crawling on marines' heads and pincing off bits of their hair too!

P.S. Jeeeeeesh! Imagine if that son of a bitch was attatched to your face! OMG!
