Brown recluse?: Some would say the brown recluse spider, because the wound can ulcerate for many weeks afterwards. The venom contains enzymes that destroy tissues; also it induces an immune response marked by swelling and inflammation. The initial bite is usually painless, but is followed in a few hours by burning, pain, and itching. Surgery may be needed to debride the dead tissue.
