Apparently, others have argued here (above) that Brown Recluse bites are not the real culprits for those wounds.

Been awhile but I can say that the Brown Recluse in older times was referred to as’The spider that hides’.
Ugly wound that takes some time to heal.
She received what was interpreted as another on her stomach.They treated it as a spider bite for one month.Then it colonized into four holes.
They did a biopsy and found out it was MRSA.
Seven days of three hours in the morning of a power full antibiotic and three hours in the evening for one week.All the while having to change the IV entrance as the anti-biotic was so HOT it kept collapsing her veins.
If diagnosed properly in the early stages,all that she would have had to take was oral medicine.Rough time

It may have been a black widow as I have seen quite a few.But also brown recluse.I was wondering if ceder lined closets would help.When I was bitten,I had worn a shirt that day that I had not worn in quite awhile.I am in the habit of shaking out anything and everything including boots and shoes.
I have been stung six times by scorpions and it feels like a cigarette being put out on you.I was also stung by a tarantula which caused some discomfort and itching,but that is how it is in west Texas.I kill a lot of rattle snakes.
