SPIDER BITE

SPIDER BITE

The attached pictures are of a guy who was bitten by a Brown Recluse
Spider. Some of the pictures towards the end are pretty nasty, but take
a look at the last one - it is a picture of the spider itself. Now we
all should know what to look out for.

I thought this would be a good thing to send around to people as it is
summertime and people are going to be digging around for yard work, etc.
The attached pictures illustrate the progression of a brown recluse
spider bite. Just as a warning, day 3-6 photos are not too graphic.
However, day 9 and 10 are very graphic. Your discretion is advised if
you choose to view.
















The final picture is the most important as it contains a picture of the
actual spider.




Please be careful, spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.

FYI - They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds,attics,or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light. If you have a need to be in your attic, go up there, turn on a light, and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work. Take caution when out in the yard, in storage sheds, brush pile or any place that is dark and secluded.
