those camel spider stories are super-exaggerated. kind of an urban legend that started with a thread on the somethingawful forums. they *are* fast, but the bit about the in-boot spider is almost certainly not true.

No scorpions here. Spiders, yes, but not many fucked or huge looking ones. I saw a Black Widow once though.Quote:

The spiders are, indeed, very quick and frighteningly aggressive. They have a strong bite, but rarely attack humans or larger animals.
The rumors of their attacking camels, or crawling onto sleeping GIs' faces, apparently stem from one of two things, both of which may be true to some extent: (1) they may use hair to line their burrow when they are about to lay a batch of eggs, said hair being clipped from dead camels or other dead mammals (and a sleeping GI is not much different)
