hey you need to get her to the hospital, cause brown recluse bites eats a hole in the tissue, it can be bad. I'm not trying to scare you but a friend of mine a long time ago got bit and they put him on meds! I would get it checked!

yeah we know the really bad dangers of it cuz we've in fact been reading about them waaaay before it happened.

thanks for the prayers and stuff..hopefully it'll go away cuz it really just walked over her, it didn't bite her, but it was getting red and we put ice on it and it seems to stop. i know my mom is gonna take her in soon. not sure.

they called the hospital and they told us how to treat it. we're keeping a good eye on it and it doens' seem to be spreading but i do know it takes effect time afterwards as well.

az? we have a i-hate-spiders-club here at phatmass if you want to join.

Brown Recluses are venomous, but not necessarily life-threatening. Your sister most likely will be fine, except she will have an area of broken-down tissue where the bite occured, like Jason said. Those "bruises" can last a long time. Unless she got a secondary infection from the bite or is allergic, there shouldn't be much worry. The black window is the major spider to watch out for here in North America. People can die from the bite, and a few have even died from the anti-venom.
