My youngest child was bit by a brown recluse when we moved to Texas. Her
leg swelled incredibly fast.
My car was in the shop, so I called 911, and while we waited for an
ambulance, I lanced the site. The doctors told us that's the only reason she
ended up not needing skin grafts, as the skin in that area quickly died. It
was a very bizarre experience. And if you ask Tuti, a very painful one. She
is just glad I knew what to do. I try very hard no to kill any living
creature, but I make an exception for brown recluse and roaches.

Hi All: I have a friend that I was talking to on the phone the other
night who lives in Tennessee. She told me that she was bit by a brown
recluse spider and has since found others as well. She just moved down
there from New York last September. She and her husband have been
renovating and sprucing the place up. They recently put up new siding
and when they did, they saw the shedding of these spiders on the wall of
the house where the old siding came down. I didn't know these "yuckies"
shed their skin like a snake. She told me that's what the exterminator
told her. She got bit while she was in her bed and felt it crawl across
her neck to her shoulder. She hit it and killed it and took it the the
hospital with her where they told her it was a Brown Recluse. Thank God
after heavy duty antibiotics, she's doing fine now. But the
exterminator gave her some things to put around the floor where it would
catch anything that might crawl into it and kill it. Lo and behold, she
told me another Brown Recluse was found in it again in her bedroom. The
goosebumps on my arms as she told me this made me feel like they were
crawling on me. What a nightmare! My question to everyone is this, I
know that DE kills most spiders that crawl (or try to crawl) through
it. However, her exterminator told her that Brown Recluse spiders are
different from their relatives in that they don't crawl, they go up on
their legs and move sideways like a crab does. So, has anyone had any
experience with this "horror" and can you tell me if DE will kill them
as well and will they avoid trying to cross over it? Thanks for any
information you can give me. Barbara
