Spiders

Huge spiders are everywhere. I go with a jar to try and trap one and put it outside. Its thorax turns out to be some sort of spring-trap: when I got near it, it bursts and it shoots some kind of shrapnel into my left hand. I look at the wounds and see that there are large green seeds embedded in my hand. I start to work them out with my other hand--there are many in a wound just below the joint of my left thumb. When I have worked several of them out, I realize that my thumb is now only attached to my hand by a small flap of skin. I will need to go to the emergency room. I am trying not to panic.
