Heh, just to be a whore, a brown recluse is a hunting spider, hense they do not build webs : )
and that's f*cking massive for a brown recluse dude. There use to be another house where mine is now and when they tore it down there was a huge nest of brown relcuses so we have them really bad here. That's about the biggest that they get, and that's huge for one. And it is Orvilla btw, the males don't get over the side of about a dime and have slighty different coloration : )
And the degree of their damage relates to your reaction to them. Their venom is acually a neuro-toxin *spelling?* which in about 1 in every 534 people causes the nerve pathways to break down, hense making the body believe that that section is "dead" and stops sending nutrition to it, making it rot. Usually by the time it has rotted a limb off you'll be dead from shock : ) I'm one of the lucky people. My bro and I are both immune to the bite, it just leaves a painful, hard red bump. My mom on the other hand was bitten and almost lost her pinkie finger. The easiest to treat a brown recluse bite is to wrap the infected area with a gause wrap filled with meat tenderizer, this will draw out the poison, just incase something happens AunVoh : )
Oh and be really careful because if you're hyper alergic to it there's no cure. A girl in Arkansa died within 6 hours of being bitten by one about a year ago.
heh, okay, I'm tired of whoring now.
