Don't listen to the doctor. Pour some rubbing alcohol on it and you'll be fine.

I'd be a much better gimmick if we didn't already have BadAdviceGuy.

Ummm, seattle was the gateway for Hobo spiders I think. Similar deal. now the NW is full of them. Watch for Hobos and take some steps to eliminate them if you can. nasty bites.

Holy crap! That sucks, wacki! I've seen what these have done to a couple of friends of mine. One guy has a hole in his back about 2" in diameter and maybe 1" deep. Ouch! Hope you do better.

Can someone post a pic of a brown recluse so I know what to look for ?

I think I live too far north for these spiders. I've never seen one.

How did you know to get to the doctor so soon? I've heard that many times people don't know what bit them and they delay going to the doctor to their peril. I'm assuming you got medical attention fairly quickly, no?

I was lucky as either the poison I got hit with was very slow or I am resistant to it. My foot swelled up to the point where it looked like somebody stuck a golf ball in it. When it opened up 4 days laster that is when I went to the doctor. I was lucky as the guy that got bit in my first link was screwed within 24 hours. It seems the potency of their bite varies a lot in terms of strength and speed. Basically if you see a wound opening up or growing, get to the doctor now.
