Suspected Brown Recluse Spider Bite: Images of a Spider Bite on a Thumb
A brown recluse spider bite is an injury that can progress from a reddish or purplish ring to a blood blister and a black eschar. Pain may develop within hours. In serious cases, the eschar can slough after about 2 to 5 weeks, leaving an ulcer that may take months to heal. A typical bite is usually single, dry and under 10 centimeters, with ulceration developing around day 7 to 14. Marked swelling below the neck is uncommon. Pus or other drainage suggests another cause, and bacterial infections, especially MRSA, are among the conditions most often mistaken for spider bites.  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Suspected Brown Recluse Spider Bite: Images of a Spider Bite on a Thumb
Here are two more brown recluse spider bites both on the legs. These are pretty sick, but it serves as examples of what a little spider can do. These people did not seek treatment as soon as they should have, but did manage to save their legs. This one is a brown recluse bite on the leg - this person’s leg will never be normal again. This is after only nine days!  And this one is another on the leg and was treated early!  |

Re: Suspected Brown Recluse Spider Bite: Images of a Spider Bite on a Thumb
The brown recluse spider bite, like many other spider bites, is extremely hard to feel; if anything, the bite would feel like a pinprick if even noticed at all. The brown recluse is one of four poisonous spiders. In fact, only 60 out of 20,000 species of spiders are actually capable of biting at all. The brown recluse is not an aggressive spider and the only way on would bite is if they feel threatened. This is usually cased by the brown recluse feeling trapped, which can happen if they are caught in clothes, or pressed between skin and another surface. |

Fucking spiders are nasty, they don't freak me out, it's the venomous ones that are the real motherfuckers. They just sneak up on you in your sleep and poison your ass.

Re: Suspected Brown Recluse Spider Bite: Images of a Spider Bite on a Thumb
Well I live in Phoenix and I know we have them here. I nearly stepped on one barefoot before. It was in my closet, it ran past my barefoot after I put it down; I then proceeded to scale the walls straight up in about 1/4th of a second. Second biggest fucking spider I ever saw!
