There’s an interesting post that is on Imgur of a guy who was bitten on the eyelid by a brown recluse on 11/27. He’s been updating the post with pictures daily.
This should be something very informative to watch as it progresses... https://imgur.com/gallery/4ptEieB |

Fuck those things, the worse part, they look so small (relative to say a Wolf spider) & harmless if you see one you would smash with a bare hand.

I figured his dad popped him in the eye for fucking up his ears.

Tried smashing one in the bucket on the FEL of the Kubota. Sucker jumped on my hand as I went to swinging the pipe wrench on it to smash. Ended up flinging the wrench across the 40x60 shop. |

Let's hope he dodges the necrosis phase, or he's losing that eye, possibly part of his head, and maybe his life.
I was bit a few times, but got lucky, never had significant necrosis and each bite had a lessened impact from the previous. |

My buddies girlfriend got bit on the boob by one. Nasty wound that put her in the hospital for a few days.
|
|
I have a huge scar on my leg from one where the muscle/tissue is gone behind the hole it left, and a black circle about the size of a quarter still sits there.
This guy's face is going to look a lot worse in a few days as the inside decays away and starts oozing. |

My apartment complex is infested with the sonsofbitches. I saw a small one on the wall just the other night, so they're out and around even in the bitter cold of winter. I've got sticky traps all over the place which do work, though I've seen them rip a leg free to get away from the trap. Thankfully it messed the one up that did it, as it was alive but curled up a couple of feet from the trap so I was able to vacuum it up and give it a porcelain water ride to its death.

based on all the crap on his hoodie, I'm drawing the conclusion that his apartment isn't the cleanest of places.
|
|
Just look ahead and Google "Brown Recluse bite". The guy is is serious danger of loosing half his face.
|
|
I'm actually surprised it looks that good. I was expecting rotting flesh.

I live in a 1940 farmhouse out in the woods. They are just part of being here. No way to seal a tongue and groove house. The sticky traps really work well. put them along baseboards and electric receptacles. They have to come out to hunt. I rarely see or catch one now but I know they're hiding somewhere.

A guy that worked for me was bitten by one, it became necrotic and they had to remove a huge chuck of skin on his back.
Nasty little fuckers. |

Picked up my outdoor broom to sweep off the porch yesterday. Half dozen black widows started scrambling out of the plastic handle.
That broom got noped right the fuck out of my yard into the woods. Damn things are stealthy right up until they attack. |
|
Found a handful of them in my house when I lived in Alabama.
Neighbors house was infested and she had a softball size hole on her thigh from a bite. Nothing to mess with near your eyes. |

We found a black widow in my fiance's garage here in Chicagoland a few years ago. That shit don't belong here!

I felt bad for him until I saw those stupid fucking ear gauges.

Got zapped on the small of my back by one. Felt kinda funny the first night. The next day I had a big infected welt the size of a ping pong ball on the small of my back. I was on a strong antibiotic for a week and had to keep squeezing it to get the pus out. Ugh. Thanks now I will have nightmares tonight.

I use Ortho Home Defense Max spray, soaking the carpet in front of the apartment front door and down the wall trim, plus inside around the walls, doors, etc. They are hardy little bastards though. I read that 50 percent of bites are "dry bites" that don't rot, and have seen a couple that people had that made a welt but never rotted. I had a spot on one arm in the crook that was sore for a long time and red but finally healed up. I wondered if one of the tiny baby ones nailed me. |

Yeah.....thats going to get much worse before it gets better....
my uncle was bitten by one on the nose.....just in front of the eye.... he said he pulled his glasses away to wipe off a drop of sweat.....it was actually a recluse .....and bit him as he did. The swelling slowly broke his nose over a period of a few days.....what eventually came out of the wound was .....err.....unpleasant.... |

When I lived in CA. I had a Black Widow mama with an egg on the outside of the kitchen window, I watched it over month or so, I was looking at it when the egg split and about 100 spiders came pouring out.
I'd rather have a horde of Black Widows outside a window than one Brown Recluse inside. |
|
Ugh, got bit by one while camping once.
I was exploring, "as yet undreamt of galaxies of pain." |
|
I'm always shaking out my clothes and shoes. I've got Brown Recluses, Black Widows, Arizona Bark Scorpions and Copperheads here. I hate crawly shit.

|
Gonna watch this one play out, prayers for the fella, this may not end well.
