Brown Recluse Spider Bite?
Can someone point me toward info on the bite of this pest?
My wife has two bites that have been diagnosed as bites from
the brown recluse, but she has no additional symptoms. The
bites are about the size of a quarter and very localized. A
friend of hers showed her an article in Readers Digest about
these bites and my wife is extremely worried as she has a
history of getting infections from fly bites, etc. Last year,
she was bitten by a tick and subsequently diagnosed with Lyme,
so she is a little gun-shy. Any pointers to factual info would
be appreciated. Thanks.
