A member asked:
What are symptoms from a brown recluse spider bite that are different from a regular house spider?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: For brown recluse bites, see www.Emedicinehealth.Com/spider_bite_brown_recluse_spider_bite/article_em.Htm for a great article about this. As for house spiders, they shouldn't cause much issues unless the bite gets infected or unless your common house spider turns out to be a hobo spider which can give a bite similar to a recluse.
