Hey Posted: 08-16-07 12:28pm
from what i can tell of the picture---need
a closer view.---it looks like a brown
recluse---is there a violin on the upper
body? if so you need to catch one and
have a doctor make a serum out of it as
they are poisonus. you may react
differently to them than some of my frieds
did. you may end up building up an
immunity to them. are you haveing any
symptoms other than the wounds? do you
feel ok?

it looks like one. you may want to try to
use a lot of raid for spiders. and clean
really well. you are lucky you dont react
worse to the bite. one of my friends was
in a coma for a month and another got
really sick. the other just got what
looked like a volcanic pimple. and that
was it.

my dad got bit by a brown recluse
and his skin started falling off of his
knee (where he got bit)
and he got really sick...

Where do you live? It looks like a brown
Recluse but they are not in all parts of
the US. They live MOSTLY in the Midwest ,
however a wolf spider can look like a
brown recluse and they are all in all
regions.

I have seen a doctor, he says its likely
not spider bites but instead a skin
condition called Eczema. He gave a me a
creme for it.

I know people who have been bit by the
brown recluse and that looks nothing like
it. One had a huge black bubble on his
arm and had to seek medical care for it
and he was sick. Another girl landed in
the hospital from it. It could be
psoriasis or eczema. I'd go to the doctor
to be on the safe side
