spider that caused this much damage (brown recluse)
All, Take a look at the attached pictures of a guy who was bitten by a
>>Brown Recluse Spider. Some of the pictures towards the end are pretty
>>nasty, but take a look at the last one--it is a picture of the spider
>>itself. Now we all should know what to look out for. I thought this
would >>be a good thing to send around to people as it is summertime and
people >>are going to be digging around for yard work, etc. The Attached
pictures >>illustrate the progression of a brown recluse spider bite.
Just as a >>warning, day 3-6 photos are not too graphic. However, day 9
and 10 are >>very graphic. Your discretion is advised if you choose to
view. The final >>picture is the most important as it contains a picture
of the actual >>spider.
Please be careful, spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and
>>highly negative consequences.
FYI - They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics
>>or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light. If you
>>have a need to be in your attic, go up there and turn on a light and
leave >>it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work.
Take caution >>when out in the yard, in storage sheds, brush pile or any
place that is >>dark and secluded.
