Brown Recluse Spider Bites

Most spiders are generally harmless. In fact, out of the 20,000 odd species of spiders that inhabit the United States, only 60 are capable of causing damage to humans. Within this small group, only four species of spiders are dangerous: the black widow, the aggressive house spider, the yellow sac spider and the brown recluse spider. And, only the black widow and the brown recluse spider have been associated with disease and death.

Sandra Nelson	I am trying to find out what the symptoms might be if a horse was bitten by a California Recluse spider. The symptoms have been swelling in the lower legs, itchiness, and necrosis of body skin and most of the hair. Can you help?	4/27/2008
