What does a brown recluse spider bite do to the person bitten?
Some people may be bitten with little reaction. Others may show strong allergic reactions, itching, rashes, and even serious infection and flesh decay. However, sometimes other types of infections, bites, etc., are mistaken for brown recluse spider bites. The victim may be unaware of the bite for three to eight hours, when the bite may become red, swollen and tender. Apply ice to the affected area and raise it. Seek medical attention immediately.
