What does a spider bite look like?

What does a brown recluse spider bite look like on your stomach and can you die from one?

  • spider bite on my brother in law stomach looks black in the hole red ans swollen around it hot and maybe i say about an inch probally as big as this-} ------.

  • Answer:

    Whatever bit him it was nasty. Since there is no anti-venom it really doesn't matter. Get your brother in law to see a doc asap. He's unlikely to die of a bite but secondary infections could be lethal. More likely the longer he goes without treating it the more scarring and other possible damage that can be done.

Brown Recluse spider bites can be very nasty, causing large areas of skin to ulcerate. Even when it goes away, in some people it can come back. Check out some pictures on the web if you have a strong stomach.

The tissue typically undergoes necrosis, and occassionally a very large portion of the body (ie within a foot or more diameter of the bite) will necrophy. This can lead to amputation, death, etc.
