It is that time of year again for the ever dreaded brown recluse spider! They are a March through October “bug” and while they are not ones to look for a fight they can bite if provoked.
And they are also poisonous! While there are no known fatalities in North America from a brown recluse spider they can still be pretty devastating as the video over on the next page will show you!
You may be asking yourself if the recluse spider is found all over the United States and we can safely say it is not. However, if this spider is common in the area you live in – watch out! Be careful around boxes and in dark corners because they love to hide in shadowy areas, including under beds!

They are in central and Southern California now , friend got bit by one in san diego
No.
I live in a West Virginia, they are quite a few cases monthly here. As for myself, I’ve been bitten twice ( guess they like me ) it is NOT a very good experience to say the least. Got bitten one time under my watch band while in the woods hunting. Second time at a near by State Park on the knee cap. Both times I was hospitalized for 7 days first time,8 days second time. I wish this on no one. At first I didn’t know what it was,but the second time I did. It feels like a yellow jacket sting,yeah it’s that sharpe. A black dot started almost immediately, with red around it. The bite starts melting the flesh around it. They can be very tiny spiders or full grown. Beware!
The Australian white tail spider can cause necrosis along with the wolf spider. Pretty nasty stuff..
