Brown recluse spiders exonerated! In Florida, recluses are rare, much less likely to bite than other spiders, even when provoked, and the one verified bite did not produce necrosis.

🕷️🏠 2055 colocataires à huit pattes.
Dans une maison du Kansas, plus de 2000 araignées recluses brunes (araignée violoniste) ont été découvertes…
Et pourtant, les 4 humains qui y vivaient depuis des années n’ont jamais été mordus.
Comme quoi, la cohabitation peut être… discrètement terrifiante. 😱

My spouse got a bite on her hand while working in the garden a few days ago. After 2 days, the spot had become swollen and a purple spot formed at the bite location, so she went to the doctor.

Brown recluse bite.

Now she's on antibiotics, got a tetanus shot, and has a cream to apply.

Wear gloves when working in the garden, folks.
