They're horrible rumors about those things among US soldiers in Iraq. Something about them biting with an numbing agent like a mosquito where you can't feel it. Then leaving you with a nasty wound you never felt all night long!

geebus, not this again... :rolleyes:

"Camel spiders" are nothing more than a type of scorpion, and besides running across them in their environment, they really can't injure a human any worse than a typical scorpion would. Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp) has a nice article on this legend.
