Title: Spiders - deadly...
Post by BarbaraD on Oct 21^st, 2006, 9:54am

Ya'll be careful of those little brown spiders. They can kill you.

Had a friend that just died of a brown recluse spider bite. He was only 33. Left a wife and two small children.

If you even think you got bit - get to a doc and see about it.

So sorry to hear about your friend, Barb.
Had a nasty spider bite a few years ago. Docs think it was also a brown recluse. Nothing to mess with!! Lots of severe pain, fevers and antibiotics.

My father was bit two seperate times by brown recluse. He had an inch deep crater in his leg from the first one as a scar once it was taken care of, but was smart enough to go to the ER the 2nd time when bit on the hand.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend Barb. My buddy's 9 year old was bit on the neck 2 years ago by a BR and had to have several skin grafts as a result. It put the poor kid through hell. They wound up featuring him on a local news segment warning against brown recluse spiders.

Peace,
