i got bit by a brown recluse that was in someone's mailbox (they used to say there were none in Florida but emergency rooms have been treating people bitten by them according to what I was told..not too many of course..we have more black widows here) I didn't go to the hospital because I figured spider bites are so rare it must be some weird infected scratch. 3 days later about a 3x3 area just below my elbow looked like I had the Black Plague and I couldn't bend my arm. It took about 2 weeks to heal. And I still like spiders
