Its not a brown recluse OP, you don't even feel them. I have a missing piece of flesh that got scraped out after the necrosis stopped that scarred over into a crater if you want to see what a real brown recluse bite looks like. I didn't even feel it when they were scraping the wound out, no anesthesia. It was completely numb and dead.

The pic is a Wolf spider. Not venomous and doesn't normally bite unless really provoked but hurts like a bitch.
Brown Recluse is aggressive and bite doesn't hurt much if at all initially, the hurt comes later. |

I was bit by a brown recluse doing construction on a fire job in KC. The whole house was LOADED with them. When I say loaded, i'm talking that you could walk through the house and see them.
Then the boss told his nephew and I to go start spraying killz in the basement. We both looked at eachother like " I got your back if you got mine" and we went to work. Killed 2 before we got to the bottom of the steps and started spraying the walls. He pointed one out on the wall. I tried to paint it into the wall but it disappeared from the spray pressure. YEP, FUCK!! what have I done moment. That is probably not the one that got me but one of them did. Bit me on the inside of my right calf. Softball sized rainbow colored mark with two puncture marks in the middle. Was partying over at the neighbors a couple days later and the guys wife was a nurse. She stopped me dead in my tracks and asked me about it since i was wearing shorts. I told her its probably a brown recluse bite. She about lost her shit on me telling me I need to go into the hospital ASAP. The perks of living in MN, we don't really have to deal with shit like that so I kind of ignored it. Long story short, I didn't go in and i'm still waiting on my Spider-Man powers to kick in. It healed up fine and didn't have any necrosis. It took about a month and a half for the bruising to go away. It was all kind of interesting colors. yellow, pink, purple, blue, black, green. Good LUCK. Can I have your guns? EDIT. This is EXACTLY what the house was infested with.

OP has deceased? If truly a brown recluse he could lose the finger. Medical attention is required as the bite carries a necrotic venom, plus antibiotics will be required to deal with the following on infection. |

I didnt feel my bite, just saw him crawling on my arm when I picked up a pile of laundry. Smashed him and moved on. An hour or two later, my bicep started to itch.
Got red and I could see the bite mark. Well shit. Off to the interwebs and tried all the home remedy stuff. About 24 hours after the bite, my arm was swollen from shoulder to wrist, like a freakin balloon. Purple about 6 inches around the bite. Time to go to doc. He put a steroid shot right throw the bite site. Hurt like hell. Told me that if I would have waited a few more hours I would have had to have skin graphs. Healed up okay with just a few layers of skin sloughing off. Nasty scar but that's it. So, if it really was a brown recluse, dont wait around, go to doc or ER now. |

I was bit by the New Zealand equivalent of black widow.
 Attached FileIt swelled a bit... (My elbow was the size of a tennis ball) And it was hot, I had a fever and some cramps but was basically OK. Since medical attention was a bit inconvenient I hit the internet and was an expert on venomous spiders by the end of the morning! Saw a lot of images that were not helpful...
One thing I learned is that responses to spider bites vary a lot. In my case, widow bites (Katipo in this case) are often painful but sometimes go full retard. In which case there is antivenom that works fast. So I waited it out and was uncomfortable but lived. And while researching it found about the same for brown recluse bites. Sometimes it's awful but typically it's just painful. Some folks have suggested nitroglycerin patches as a way to prevent the vasoconstriction that is theorized to lead to necrosis. Other people think that secondary infections are a cause of necrosis. So who knows. The good news is that alcohol is a vasodilator! So have a drink and relax. It's what I did. In fact I invented a drink that evening that I now call the "Redback" (Local name for the spider). Bourbon with Contreau on the rocks with a squeeze of lime. |

I got bit a few times on my shoulder in my sleep. It hurt for about a month and sucked to wear a shirt. It just blistered a bit and scabbed over. Benadryl and ice the area and see a doc and get some antibiotics. No need to go to the ER, just see your GP or go to the walk-in clinic if you get bit. But this all depends on your reaction to the bite.

I don't know if we have brown recluses up here in southern Idaho. We have widows and hobo spiders, but I haven't seen any recluses. Normally, I don't mind critters, though I do hate mice when they're in my home. However, my big ass had to crawl up underneath the house at 0900 this morning to pull some PEX pipe from the tacks it was sitting in (replacing outdoor faucet). Of course, I have to go to the very farthest corner of the house to get to the faucet and pipe.
I didn't see one critter along the way, which I was thankful for. When I got to that corner...HO-LEE-FUK. That's why I didn't see any along the way, they were all posted in that damn corner, with their fucking eggs too! Wasn't a damn thing I could do except pray I didn't get bit...However, I'm a cheapskate and I wasn't about to spend 400.00 on a plumber. Thankfully, I did not get bit, but I did get both eyes filled with that wonderful fiberglass insulation shit. |
