Livin_the_MASS Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
