Possibly.. It was either a trailer or a small one story house. States really need to have anti-venom readily available in any state. I remember watching some show where a family's son got bit by a Black Widow(I think, may be wrong), and he needed anti-venom to save his life. Anti venom wasn't available in the states, or atleast not in their state, so he had to illegally smuggle it back into the states from Mexico, and man, those mexican airports had guards standing around with GUNS. If I were smuggling that stuff back, I woulda crapped my pants. Who knows what they would of done if they found him with illegal items. I actually think it might of been sold by some kind of black market down there, which makes it worse, I think. I mean, I'm sure they wouldn't of shot the guy, but the thought is still scary. The father ran the risk of being sent to jail, and, by default, his son dying, if he were caught. Thankfully, though, he made it back with the anti-venom.
