I was bitten on the waist of my stomach about 30 years ago in a meter vault. I doctored it myself over the weekend with a poultice. On Monday I had a knot on my stomach where I couldn't wear jeans, so I went to work in sweatpants, and they sent me to the doctor's office. He said it was a brown recluse and gave me antibiotics and told me to keep it packed with boil ease ointment. When I changed out the bandage chunks of dead flesh would come out until you could stick your thumb in the hole. I kept it packed and it finally healed up but it took a few weeks. I still have a scar there. That reminds me, I was planning to have a spider tattoo there.
