What must i know about a brown recluse if i get a spider bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medical Attention: These bites can be very serious causing your skin to become necrotic and slough off. Serious skin injuries could require amputation. You need to know that they inhabit dark places like the crawl space or inside your shoes. Take caution when going in dark places as they are not llkely to bite you unless they touch your skin. Use good lighting in dark places.
