Don't worry... we know what to do!

Kristin and I have finally decided that the species of spider that has found its home in the Wu house is a Wolf Spider. Here is a little info on the spider. Venom toxicity - the bite of the Wolf Spider is poisonous but not lethal. Although non-aggressive, they bite freely if provoked and should be considered dangerous to humans. The bite may be very painful. First aid and medical attention should be sought as soon as possible, particularly as to children or the elderly. Don't you guys worry though. We read up on how to take care of a wolf spider bite. Basically act like the limb is broken and put it in a splint. Then call the ambulance. (They specifically said not to transport the victim yourselves.) Oh and then catch the spider. They say that it is for identification purposes, but lets get real here. We could be smart and just let it keep roaming around biting other people too.

The best way to kill a wolf spider is to grab its back legs so they can't bite you and then make a wish while pulling in opposite directions.
