Brown Recluse Spider Bite

Brown recluse spiders are small and aren’t very aggressive – but they still pack a punch. The bite may not be painful, and the venom takes a while to take effect, so you may not notice the bite at all.  Soon it will itch and develop a red ring around the bite area. From here it will blister and possibly cause tissue necrosis. Antibiotics and possibly even surgery are used to treat brown recluse bites. Brown recluses are more common in the southern part of the US- especially from Texas to Georgia. Here is a picture of a brown recluse spider and a brown recluse spider bite:

Hobo Spider Bite
