Brown Recluse Spider Bite Info

Take a look at the information below and the  pictures of a guy who was bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider.  Some of the pictures toward the end are pretty nasty, but take a look at the first one--it is a picture of the spider itself.  Now we all should know what to look out for.  I thought this would be a good thing to send to people as it is summertime and people are going to be digging around for yard work, etc.  The pictures illustrate the progression of a brown recluse spider bite.  Just a warning, days 3-6 photos are not too graphic.  However, day 9 and 10 are very graphic.  Your discretion is advised if you choose to view.  The first picture is the most important because it is a picture of the actual spider.  Please be careful, spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences. 
 
F.Y.I.-  They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds and attics or other areas that are not 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.  Be cautious when out in the yard, in storage sheds, brush piles, or any place that is dark and secluded.
 
                                        Be aware of your surroundings and have fun this summer.
