White-tailed spiders. [LEARN something every day segment]. Having heard that there is no anti-venine for their bite and that one can suffer necrosis and various ill-effects for life, I googled them. Studies have not found this to be true. How come Back Caviar's half-brother died several months after a White-tail bite?? What's the truth?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        After much googling, I finally found a recipe for curing a cut of meat WITHOUT using nitrates. Check out Recipe Hub but allow an hour to work through to page 70 or so.
