My sister can tell you that the brown recluse spider is something to be very afraid of. A few years ago she was bitten by one and the doctors were on the verge of taking off one of her legs just below the hip when one of them suggested an alternate treatment--which worked. Scary.
Yeah, I was referring to the spiders I know about in CO. I’ve heard about the brown recluse. I saw a show about a little girl that was bit on a playground and was dead soon after.
