in northern michigan my brother in law got what he thought was a spider bite. Had all the signs of a brown recluse bite although they aren't indiginous to our area....It was nasty. I told him to tell the doctor to check for staph.
he took tons of anti biotics and it barely touched it.
it took alot of time for it to heal. He's better now but I wonder if this is what he had.
Probably so ,, the greater Detroit area is where these superbugs were first noticed decades ago... due to the high VD rates there and the overprescribing of antibiotics including Vancomycin... with half of Ontarios population working in Detroit you can see how it would spread.
Sounds like it was. I'm glad he got over it. A few years ago I think I was bitten by a black widow. The skin on my arm was red and I got a really hi fever. Being a typical male, I did nothing for it. Well, maybe some aspirin. Anyway, it went away.
