One of our locations had those bastards in it and several of our employees were bitten. I would suggest you find a doctor that knows what he/she is doing and stick to what ever regimen they prescribe. And when I say he/she I mean he. Good luck!

I have, when I was about 13. Was in hospital for seven days. I got bit on my toe. Foot and leg swelled half way up my lower leg. Painful as all hell and the treatment was ten times worse.--carlos

i got bit in my leg, didnt think much of it for a while till it got sooo painful that i couldn't take it any more, it looked like a big ass pimple that i kept popping and squeezing the puss out of it, i finally went to the doctor about a week after i got bit and he cut my leg open and squeezed all the shit out then put a long piece of gauze in it with some needle noses
(hurt like a bitch since he didn't numb my leg or anything)

bad news with those, I'd get a second opinion. If it's a brown recluse bite they will have to remove the dead tissue or it will continue to eat away. I've heard several stories where they lanced the wound, cleaned it out, and packed it full of gauze. It's not something to mess around with.Comment

Initially, the bite may feel like a pinprick or go unnoticed. Some may not be aware of the bite for 2 to 8 hours. Others feel a stinging sensation followed by intense pain. Infrequently, some victims experience general systemic reactions that may include restlessness, generalized itching, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or shock. A small white blister usually initially rises at the bite site surrounded by a swollen area. The affected area enlarges and becomes red, and the tissue is hard to the touch for some time. The lesion from a brown recluse spider bite is a dry, blue-gray or blue-white, irregular sinking patch with ragged edges and surrounding redness--termed the "red, white, and blue sign." The lesion usually is 1½ inches by 2¾ inches or smaller. Characteristics of a bite are further discussed at http://www.amednews.com/free/hlsa0805.Originally posted by John -- '02 HAWK View Post
The bite of the brown recluse spider can result in a painful, deep wound that takes a long time to heal. Fatalities are extremely rare, but bites are most dangerous to young children, the elderly, and those in poor physical condition. When there is a severe reaction to the bite, the site can erupt into a "volcano lesion" (a hole in the flesh due to damaged, gangrenous tissue). The open wound may range from the size of an adult's thumbnail to the span of a hand. The dead tissue gradually sloughs away, exposing underlying tissues. The sunken, ulcerating sore may heal slowly up to 6 to 8 weeks. Full recovery may take several months and scarring may remain.
