Spider bites: The answer is we do not know - i guess no one has ever lived to tell us the exact number of bites they received at one time.

Don't know: A spider usually bites once. Some people have minimal reaction to a brown recluse spider bite and others have severe reactions. I suspect that someone who had severe reactions to one, would be much worse off with more than one bite. I think it would be INCREDIBLY rare to be bit multiple times by a brown recluse spiders. Most fatalities have occurred young children or people wi weak immune systems.
