[QUOTE="Lee Sanchez, post: 67018, member: 4438"] My brother and two others got bit by black widows and they said it was painful for a day or two and they felt like being on lsd a bit. None of them went for any medical treatment at all. No idea what they did to get bit. I don't think they would bite you unless you accidentally stepped on one or touched them in a way they couldn't run. Our backyard is filled with these and never have problems with them at all. We don't spray at all here. I'd bet bug spray is more dangerous. The recluse on the other hand turned another friends side of his back black and had pretty gnarly medical treatment for a long time. He had a huge hole in his back and had to fill it with gauze and change it a lot. The swelling was huge and disgusting. From what I saw I would rather be shot than be bit by those. We aren't even supposed to have that type here in California but one was found in my friends back pack when came home from camping too. Brown recluse is the fiddle back correct? The type we supposedly only had here wasn't dangerous but I guess they invited there cousins over to stay. [/QUOTE]
