Took it outside and it came back the next day! Too much spider.

The second time it obviously remembered me and anticipated my method. That's a pretty smart arachnid.

What is it hunting for?

I think it's a baboon spider, it comes inside when it rains...

could be the same, no baboons here so the name would be different I'm sure... Luckily all you need is a little healthy goat urine to fix you up.

The hunstman spider bite is not fatal but as mentioned earlier flesh starts to rot, treatment is required. Tricky part is the same bite area will rot again the next year and a year after. please follow the treatment. kottakkal arya vaidya sala offers medicine like Vilwadi kashayam and Gulika(traditionally vilwadi is prepared using bael tree root along with 10 other herbs grinding the mixture with goats urine. I wonder modern day ayurvedic companies use healthy goats urine and not stall grain feed goats urine). Please note ayurveda is not over the counter medicine, consult a physician

Is this location in Kerala?

I am in Karnataka but the article is from KeralaFarmers

Oh my bad I was thinking of a specie of tarantula and the bite is harmless, so i can imagine paying attention when you go to sleep, under your bed, the pillow, etc...
The female looks nasty, as big as a crab

Ah, luckily i haven’t seen any tarantulas, the kind they have here is quite poisonous from what I understand. There is apparently a specie of huntsman spider that has a 1 foot legspan. (Legspan?) thats more spider than I would like to encounter.
