They suspect her husband brought it home from work. The doc said they come North on Lumber trucks and when the bundle of lumber is dropped at the job site they seek cover in anything, including clothing.
She has a 3 inch diameter hole in her arm thats almost to the bone.
Anybody elseknow anyone who's been bitten by one of these guys?

Hey Sean - did they buy that stuff?? Did it really work like they said? Hope she's OK now.
i found another website that tells where they are.
LMAO LeLimey - they are right where YOU were.... and you made it out alive!
I wanted to see real pics -cuz i figured since this site was selling something they would show you the worst possible pics.

One of my employees was bit on the back of his calf. Very ugly, to this day he has a depression about the size of a coaster that is atleast a quarter to a half in deep.

I got bit by a spider when I was pregnant with Sean. I don't know if it was a brown recluse but it was a severe bite. I had to take some potent antibiotics and I have a dead spot on my leg due to the bite... While recuperating I couldnt walk... it was pretty bad... tell your friend, as I have said before here (Eyes of fire!!!) 80%of spiders bite... some severe some not. Anything that bites me dies. If they are harmless I will let them live, take them outside etc... I hope your friend is ok... be well...
how's collin??? love ree

A dear friend of mine in North Carolina was bitten by one on her cheek (that would be the face cheek). She spent 3 weeks in the hospital on major antibiotics and is facing several pastic surgeries to repair her face. It's one of the nastiest spiders known.
I, myself was bitten by what my doc called an "aggressive jumping garden spider." Not a Brown Recluse, but I now have a very significant (to me) indentation scar on my chin. My family says it gives my face "character." I say .... "Death to all spiders!"

Oh jeez, now I get the topic title. "Fiends wife" didn't click for me.
I hope she is going to be better. That would be horrendous to have happen.

My wife wakes from dreams of spiders. She acryphobic or something. I think bugs know it too because they love to be near her I swear
My wife claims she's read that every person swallows 25 spiders in a life time in there sleep due to falling asleep with thier mouths open? Can anybody back her up?

Sean, there's a lot of work recently been done on this syndrome here in Oz. As I recall, it's not the venom causes the problem but a soil-borne bacteria and the spider is just the vector.
I'm sure the research was carried out on the Atherton Tablelands in North Queensland but I simply can't remember now who did it. Look into James Cook University - Cairns campus. If it wasn't them directly, they'll know who it was.
Good luck to all concerned,
Brian Down Under.

Jeepers creepers........I am scared SHITLESS of spiders that appear to want to come my way or are in my way......we have huge wolf spiders here......some big enuff to part weeds. I've heard alot about the recluse and that they are VERY aggressive and will attack if you get near them inside or out. We have the golden rod spiders here in fall that get bigger by the day makeing webs that you easily walk thru and they are at FACE level. I play t-ball with them.........one wack and yer out of here Pam
Those bite pics were the gross'st thing I have seen in a long time. Gotta do alot of hand weeding around here and I always worry bout them. More so then ever now. Supposidly some spiders bite prey and it liquifies them inside out FAST so they can suck them dry so that prolly explains the deep wounds and how fast they disolve. And yeah.....I've heard that spiders often climb in your mouth when sleeping.......I've woke up with them dangling above my face on a single thread. EEKS !!!

I HATE spiders. Major case of arachnophobia here. Just looking at a picture of a spider gives me the heebee geebees. They are called fiddlebacks here. Nasty fucking spider. What's wierd is the bite itself doesn't usually hurt at the time. A lot of people never realize they were bit until the bite site starts to react to the venom.
My son, John, was bit a few months ago on his hand. The site got kind of ugly, but never went necrotic. Our doc said that like with most everything else, some people are more susceptible to the venom than others.

I got bit by a brown recluse about 3 years ago. Woke up with a tiny red spot on my chest that itched like crazy. By that afternoon I had a hole the size of a pencil eraser and you could see the muscle in my chest. Went immediately to the urgent care and was put on antibiotics the size of horse pills for 10 days. The spot got bigger than a quarter and I have a scar on my chest from it. It was VERY nasty! I have a vendetta against spiders. None come into my line of vision without being killed mercilessly.

Like Gator, spiders are one thing that gets to me. If they are anywhere near decent size, my first reaction is to head for the hills. My second is to hit it with a shovel. That's very satisfying somehow. I'm still scared of the things though.
Yikes, what a thing this spider seems to be. Sorry to learn of so many attacks.

My wife was bit by a spider some time back. We think it may have been a recluse, but luckily, she never got the necrosis from it. From what I've read, the recluse venom can produce a general brakedown of the cells immediately surrounding the bite, and the necrosis develops if the blood vessels in the area of the bite become significantly damaged. Also, a disruption of the circulatory system in the area of the bite will cause the area to be less resistant to infection. Many times, it's the bacterial infection that causes the more severe and extensive necrosis. Luckily for some, people can sometimes have a natural resistance to recluse venom, and have little to no reaction to the bite... But others can have a severe reaction, or even be allergic, causing a bite to be potentially lethal.

I'm from the west coast too and I thought I had seen Brown Recluses once or twice. The one we have tons of in California is the Black Widow. I've never been bit, but have found them everywhere. Killed a ton of them too. They are pretty scarry looking:
I hate hate them. I understand the function spiders play in the environment, but I often wonder why God couldn't have created something that does the same thing, but is a little more appealing. Then again, controlling the insect population by eating them probably wouldn't be appealing no matter what kind of creature it was. Yuck.

We get those here. Even had one in my house that we found dead after the bug guy came to spray. About shit when I saw it. I am scared to death that one would bit my kids.
I was bit by a black widow as a kid in AZ. Still have the scar on my leg and it is numb. I kill 99% of anything with more then 4 legs. The only think that I will catch and take outside are crickets.
