my Uncle got bit by a spider. Don't know if it was a recluse. He was getting dressed in the morning. Put his work pants on that were draped over a chair, felt a sting on his thigh and a spider fell on the floor when he ripped off the pant and shook them out. He had a hands width depression that was about an inch deep. This was after it was healed and completely scarred over. I don't know how big it was while healing. This was in Arkansas though so smack dab in the middle of the territory on that map[0] Helping some friends on a farm in West Virginia, their greenhouses would fill up with black widows in the early spring before they got around to cleaning them out for the first planting. 1000s of them in each greenhouse. Quickly learned that they are entirely harmless. [0]http://spiders.ucr.edu/images/colorloxmap.gif http://spiders.ucr.edu/images/colorloxmap.gif
