Holy crap!! Isn't the brown recluse even more poisonous than the black widow?? 
I remember reading somewhere that said this is very difficult to diagnose properly without having the spider though, how did he determine it was a brown recluse?

He looked at it, I told him that I woke up one morning with it. He looked at it some more. He said "Well, since you woke up one morning with it, it's not wasps or bees..." I showed him the white spot in the center, he was like "This is probably from a fiddleback."

I've done some research on the Brown Recluse lately (cause I'm paranoid about them being in my house), and from what I gather most people do not die from their bites.

thanks...the pain in my throat is nothin that 800mg of advil can't handle 
and the mouthwash is good for right before i eat...because it'll numb the pain long enough to eat.
and luckily i'm not reactive to brown recluse venom.
