Brown Recluse Spider . . .. Remember what this Spider looks like !

[CamoDeafie]

A lot of people mistake the similar looking but larger Giant House Spiders for unusually big Hobo Spiders.

My father-in-law got bitten by one in Texas. He still has the scar from where was necrotized. It got swollen and he had to go to the doctor. He lucked out with just a scar.

So if one were to be bitten by a radioactive brown recluse spider...and if you got superpowers from it...
Would that make you a Shy ( reclusive ) Spider-Man...
Or just socially awkward with a nasty bite wound...

Well let's see, toxic, reclusive, and dangerous. It's scientific name should Josephus Robinetticus Bidenica.

I worked with two guys who had bad spider bites. One was a black widow. He said he ended up in the ICU for a few days, he said it was like an acid trip. He could see the walls melting around him.

The other guy bitten by a recluse on his forearm. He left it for a couple days with a bandage. Until it started seeping through the bandage.
He went to the hospital and they gave him an IV of meds and he could push on his arm and pink ooze would run out of the wound.

A friend of mine was bitten by one. It really messed him up. I bumped into him years later and he was still severely disabled and I could barely recognize him.

reminds me of then i was a kid, a schoolmate's mom was grabbing some bananas and had a big, nasty bubblegum spider crawl out... now i always triple check any bananas i get .. and you should as well..

I got bitten on the finger by what we assumed was a Hobo spider yrs ago. i was just headed off to work when it happened. Had to leave work a few hrs later because my hand started swelling so bad that I couldn't use it. Stopped by the Urgency Clinic on the way home and they gave me a shot and antibiotics but later that night my fingers and hand were so swollen I thought the skin might split. Definitely painfull! I just toughed it out and by the next evening my whole arm was swollen and red to the shoulder. You could feel heat radiating off it from a foot away. I think I ended up missing 4-5 days work because I couldn't bend my fingers. I wouldn't want to repeat the experience!

According to Wikipedia ( ) , it looks like the Brown Recluse is not closely related to the Hobo, but the Hobo is related to the Giant House Spider and the Desert Grass Spider.

Edit. Hobo and Giant House spider are in Agelenidae family and the Brown Recluse is in Sicariidae family

Edit 2. Family Agelenidae includes the funnel weavers with 8 eyes and like 1,300+ species. Family Sicariidae have 6 eyes and only 189 species

Wow, there is a thread all about me!!!

I acquired this nickname in high school after a major brawl against a bully. Some "outcast" people should not be messed with.

You made his skin fall off?

Sure, using some warlock hocus pocus. There was some skin separation, sure.

Plenty of Brown Recluse and Hobo here in Hazeldell, bit luckily I also see many of the mud wasps that paralyze spiders and lay eggs on them.

In telecom and a few years back a technician told the front desk lady he couldn't come to work cause he was bit by a spider cabling under a business. She told him get in here crybaby if you want to keep your job. An hour later he came in and his forehead was like Worf from Star Trek. I drove him to the hospital, he recovered. Actually glad she forced him to come to work cause he may have died laying around at home.

I've read and heard repeatedly that there are no Brown Recluse in the Pacific Northwest, and that people when they do capture the "brown recluse" that bit them, later learn from the biologist identifying it that they were bitten by a Hobo.

Does anyone have actual proof that there are actual Brown Recluse in the area and that all of the resident biologists and experts are full of beans? ?
