Brown Recluse Bites

Here is a yummy random assortment of the infamous Brown Recluse bites i found while googling. I happen to be deliciously afraid of spiders so this is kinda creepy to me in an awesome way.
Some of them are from a llama (last 3), and one from a sheep leg (4th from last).
Enjoy!
Quick Education for Brown Recluse:
Brown recluse spiders are usually between 6–20 mm (¼ in and ¾ in), but may grow larger. While typically light to medium brown, they range in color from cream-colored to dark brown or blackish gray.
Recluse spiders build irregular webs that frequently include a shelter consisting of disorderly threads. They frequently build their webs in woodpiles and sheds, closets, garages, plenum, cellars and other places that are dry and generally undisturbed. When dwelling in human residences they seem to favor cardboard, possibly because it mimics the rotting tree bark which they inhabit naturally. Also they have been encountered in shoes, inside dressers, in bed sheets of infrequently used beds, in clothes stacked or piled or left lying on the floor, inside work gloves, behind baseboards and pictures, and near sources of warmth when ambient temperatures are lower than usual. Human-recluse contact often is when such isolated spaces are disturbed and the spider feels threatened. Unlike most web weavers they leave these lairs at night to hunt. Males move around more when hunting; females tend to remain nearer their webs.
The brown recluse spider is native to the United States from the southern Midwest south to the Gulf of Mexico. The native range lies roughly south of a line from southeastern Nebraska through southern Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana to southwestern Ohio. In the southern states, it is native from central Texas to western Georgia and north to Kentucky.A related species, the brown violin spider is found in Hawaii.
Brown recluses are rarely aggressive, and actual bites from the species are rare. The spider usually bites only when pressed against the skin, such as when tangled up within clothes, towels, bedding, inside work gloves, etc. Many human victims of brown recluse bites report having been bitten after putting on clothes that had not recently been worn or lying undisturbed on the floor. The initial brown recluse bite frequently is not felt and may not be immediately painful, yet such a bite can be serious.
The type of venom that the Brown Recluse has is a hemotoxic venom. This can be very deadly. When bitten the bite has a possibility of causing necrosis, although most bites are minor with no necrosis. However, a small number of bites do produce severe dermonecrotic lesions.
First aid involves the application of an ice pack to control inflammation, the application of aloe vera to soothe and help control the pain, and prompt medical care. If it can be easily captured, the spider should be brought with the patient in a clear, tightly closed container so it may be identified.

Re: Brown Recluse Bites

Ft. Bragg has them all over the place. When I was there staying in the barracks i saw two of them. One was the size of a quarter in the hallway and i was quick to kill it (after showing it off) and and the other one was twice the first ones size on the wall in the bathroom. Apparently they lived in the ceilings and we had to keep our beds two inches away from the wall so they wouldn't climb down while we slept. Many people got bit. I got lucky and didnt.
