brown recluse bit

[LukeDuke]

Hunted a blind we called black widow. Now I’m glad I never got bit.

We had a ground blind that was loaded with them…discovered it as the sun was coming up one morning!

This little white core, has to come out !
It will continue to rot the flesh around it.

Most "brown recluse bites" are actually staph infections.

This, go to the doctor, they can test if for staph infection/mrsa and can give you the antibiotics you need before it gets too bad and or spreads.

Just nasty, going to be a long road ahead for recovery.

Def a deep hole !
this was the third one in my calf.

I think what you might be dealing with is some form of bot fly larva. They happen on the legs. Thats the white core that you are digging out.

Lol !
first one in rib cage
second one in back of neck
third one, in leg,
fourth one in arm.
have dealt with Bot flys in deer, obviously you’ve never had a brown recluse bite, They leave a hard core where the original bite is, poison sits, and rots. Leaves a hard core node, not a larva .

Got bit in college on the inside of my thigh 3 times sleeping on an air mattress, spider was caught and still alive on a sticky trap about 5' from the bed. First bite was only a couple inches from the family jewels and 2nd and 3rd bite was him working his way toward my knee. First bite was by far the worse. Went to the hospital several hours after the bite and Doc put ice on it and gave me some sort of antibiotic but said there wasn't much to be done but observe it. He said only a small percentage of the population has the really bad necrotic reactions, luckily i was somewhere in the middle.

I got bit on the calf by one of those nasty $&@%% back in early August. This was a month+ after the initial bite. The redness is still the size of a quarter.
It was much worse earlier. It took forever to fully heal!! Never went to Dr. Probably should have. I just kept soaking it with peroxide and iodine.

Bold was your problem. Peroxide is pretty bad for your flesh.

Rub some dirt in it and cover with duct tape...you'll be fine

Demon, lambda, tempo, etc just about any good insecticide will do it.

Spray around the base boards sufficient?

I spray in bathroom vanities and under the kitchen sink too.
