I don't know much about Brown Recluse's, but I'd imagine that, as adults, most of us are in the clear. I bet most of the rare deaths attributed to that spider are children.

Black Widow bites can cause systemic reactions that result in severe muscle pain, crippling pain. Obviously, not permanently.
Brown recluse bites are necrotic. They kill your flesh.
I'm guessing you are dead on about children but I would add old folks and people with compromised immune systems to that.
