I’m feeling a bit under the weather (cold) and had to babysit a sick child while my wife went to the doctor (we are all feeling rough), so I haven’t been able to post… but now that I saw this dude, I am not feeling so bad.
It’s springtime; cleanup is going on. Be careful where you put your hands. They like dark spaces; woodpiles.
Also areas in the attic……………………………………….
This guy was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider.
Day 3
The following illustrates the progression of a brown recluse spider bite. The affected skin actually dies on his body!
Day 5
Some of the pictures towards the end are pretty nasty, but take a look at the last one – it is a picture of the spider itself.

Day 6
The Brown Recluse Spider is the most dangerous spider that we have in the USA
Day 9
A person can die from it’s bite. We all should know what the spider looks like
Day 10
Send this around to people you love, because it is almost summertime.
People will be digging around, doing yard work, spring cleaning, and sometimes in their attics.
The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider
Please be careful. Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.
They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light.
If you have a need to be in your attic, go up the re and turn on a light and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work!
Jesus!

Posted by ipullteeth | February 20, 2010, 8:26 pmYes. Esther, what is crazy is that you actually took the time to type out uneducated slang: “DIS … CULD … IMMA” (in all caps, of course). Please have a little more dignity next time!

Posted by BuelahMan | July 26, 2010, 7:53 pmDear Mr. Vanderbeek,
Seek immideate medical attention for this bite. It seems like you are experiencing some of the nausea and paranoia that is involved with the venom that is coursing through your veins. I implore for you to head to the nearest hospital and get this taken care of. I hope you the best of luck you are in my prayers.
Posted by Dr. Ahmed Phiillanboppers | July 26, 2010, 7:24 pmThank you, Patrick (again).

Posted by mohil | August 20, 2010, 2:58 amJust killed one in my bathroom hiding at the bottom of the sink where we put our feet every night. Hope that was the last of them. I would hate for this thing to get a hold of me, my dog, or my wife.
Posted by Heath | September 14, 2010, 8:34 pmi heard in hospitals and some other rescue areas they pay big bucks for brown recluses for there anti venom, so if ya see one, catch it and see how much ya get for it
