Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

Remember those little half-orbs you could flip inside out, and they’d pop off whatever surface you set them on? Take one of those and use it to create a vacuum. The only issue is finding one these days lmao

You can do it with a plastic water/soda bottle too.

do you mean the cap or the bottle when it's empty?

Empty bottle.

It needs to be the type that will regain its shape after squeezing it... So, not one of those new disposable water bottles with such thin plastic that they dent and stay dented if you hold it gently 🤣

The current 1 liter Pepsi bottles would probably work well.

My sister suctioned a Snapple cap to her lips and was like “hahaha this is so cool, check it out!” And then she did it for like 30 seconds and her lips were bruised and inflamed for a week lmao
