I live in the village and offer services in reflexology, reiki, dietary advice and traditional ayurvedic massage. I also offer reiki and reflexology at the Aphrodite retreat spa.
The dreaded critters are here! One of my biggest fears on this island, and tonight for the first time I spotted a small spider in its web outside the kitchen door, on a close inspection I realised that i recognised this little critter, just checked on the internet to make sure and yes! i have just confirmed Pissouri has brown widows! They are rather small around the size of a two euro coin (legs included)and have an orange hour glass symbol on their stomach (luckily I could see this without having to get to near to it) and that's it! Not sure what to do about it because I do not like killing them, so anyone wanting to catch it, you are more than welcome. I realise it has to be moved soon, because they can give a fatal bite to one of the dogs or cats, though apparently a bite to a human is generally localised though does need urgent medical attention. so don't say you were not warned, they are here, will try to take a pic of it soon, so that I can post it on here. That's all for now! Scott
