Brown Recluse Spider

My BFF Josie (thanks Girl Friend!) shared the following vital information...

CAUTION:  Disturbingly graphic photos.  Not for the faint of heart!


Brown Recluse Spider

About 4 years ago I had a Doctor appointment. That morning they called and postponed it because our Dr. was in surgery. Two days later they called back and cancelled my appointment because our Doctor had died on the operating table. We thought that he was the one doing the operating.  He had been bitten by a Brown Recluse. He had tried treating himself instead of getting help. He was fairly young (late 40’s) and the best Doctor we had ever had.  Very sad.

Brown Recluse Spider….. At this time of year, this is worth seeing.

Show these pictures to your spouse, your kids, grand kids, and friends. It could save their lives. Remember what this Spider looks like and be careful while cleaning, as told below.


It's summertime & cleanup is going on. Be careful where you put your hands. They like dark spaces & woodpiles.  Also cool areas in the attic.


This guy was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider.

Day 3:  The following illustrates the progression of a brown recluse spider bite.  The affected skin actually dies on his body.


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.

Day 6:  The Brown Recluse Spider is the most dangerous spider that we have here in the USA.

Day 9:  A person can die from its bite. We all should know what the spider looks like.

Day 10

Send this around to people you love, because it is almost summer time.

People will be digging around, doing yard work, spring cleaning, and sometimes in their attics.

The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS!



Please be careful.  Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.

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.
