RE: Brown Recluse spider bites

[Guest guest]

neato, thanks.

someone around the corner from me got bit by brown recluse around his house.

they're around for sure, but despite studying pics i've never found one that

i know of. i can recognize a black widow (female) from 8 feet, but i really

would like to be able to know a recluse if i see it. there's just too many

spiders that look similar around here... i should do a more deliberate study

on this since i'm back to doing exterior painting more lately for $ 9when

there's work that is, and there ain't much).

i'm gonna buy a therapik to keep in the car.

that's my problem: i see many spiders of various sizes and habits, many not reclusive at all, with fiddle patterns that seem to meet the description. black cohosh, eh?

I had great success with microelectricity

for my bite. I don’t even

have much of a scar.
