Well: First of all you better get rid of them. The recluse spider has a certain dangerous bite. So start by calling an exterminator and get yourself protected. Who can say why you are the only one bitten you must be near where they nest. Be careful

Bites?: Perhaps they are not bites at all. It is common to mistake infection as bites. You should have the "bite" looked at by a physician.
