I just received an e-mail concerning the ferocity and dramatic results on the thumb of a man who was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider. It was enough to make you sick, from the pictures. Has anyone had similar results, and how prevalent are they? I live in PA., and have never known anyone personally who has been bitten. Tell you what, though...I'm gonna start being more careful in darkly-lit areas, and around woodpiles!!
