Brown Recluse bite
A buddy here at work said his 6'4" 240 LB son complained of a boil like mark under his arm near his arm pit last Thursday. Thinking it was an infected or ingrown hair or possibly a boil he put it off thinking nothing about it. Within 24 hours the area got much redder and became very inflamed with a high fever developing with a 103 degree temperature. His son contacted them and his mother took him into the doctors office on Saturday and they cleaned it out and gave him some antibiotics and sent him home. By Sunday morning he was much worse and his mother took him to ER where he was admitted. It was then identified as a spider bite and treated as a Brown Recluse bite and a pump was placed on the wound after it was cut out and cleaned. He will be out of commission for 4 more weeks. This is a pic of the wound after it was cleaned up on Sunday. BTW, he lived in an old apartment building that lost power for a day in Bellvue Ky.
The BR spider is one nasty Motha Fugga!
