After I saw it I looked all around my computer room, under the table and shit. Man, that is a freaky spider. I would rather wake up with a tarantula crawling on me than that thing. |

Death from the bite of a brown recluse is pretty damn rare. |

It says in there that many bites aren't felt or feel like a little pin-prick, and some aren't even noticed until hours later. But then it does say that some can be really nasty with immediate intense pain and cause a nasty blister and can become gangrenous if left untreated. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 22,2004 12:46am - retzam ""] Yeah, based on what I read, they usually look much worse than they are. It said something about the skin around the bite turning blue or grey and it gets really hard, like stiff leather. |
