Treatment For A Brown Recluse Bite
Although encountering a brown recluse is rare, like most spiders, if it feels threatened, this brownish-tan spider may just bite humans. Found mainly in the midwest and the south, brown recluse spiders are one of only two venomous spiders in the United States who have a dangerous bite. These spiders are distinguishable by their violin shaped feature on the front of their bodies. If they bite, their venom tends to leave a painful sore on the bitten area. However, depending on the individual, the symptoms can be mild to severe. These symptoms include a pinching or stinging sensation at first, pain, soreness, and redness at the sight of the bite, skin turning purple at the center of the bite, with a deep sore (ulcer) forming, chills, a fever, nausea, joint pain, weakness, and sometimes seizures or coma.
